Sniper Elite 5 debuts at No.1 | UK Boxed Charts

Rebellion's Sniper Elite 5 claims No.1 in the UK boxed charts, according to the latest GfK figures. The game didn't need to sell big numbers to achieve the result, and launch physical sales are 64% lower than Sniper Elite 4, which released in February 2017 (when it reached No.2). Of course, the download market has accelerated significantly since 2017 and download data is not included (it arrives later in the week), so this isn't an indicator of the game's overall performance. Sniper Elite 5 sold mostly on PlayStation in physical form, with just 8% of sales coming on Xbox platforms. This will be the result of the game's inclusion in the Xbox Game Pass subscription service.
