If the UK's physical games chart is anything to go by, Tekken 8 looks to be a hit for Bandai Namco. It's debuted in the number one spot, with nearly two thirds of copies sold being the PS5 version. According to GamesIndustry's Christopher Dring, the game's physical launch sales are "more than double" those of Street Fighter 6 — though this doesn't account for digital at all. Still, it's clearly a very healthy launch weekend for Tekken.
Season 2 for Tekken 8 launched with drastic system-wide changes, including increased combo damage, and powerful plus-frame homing moves.
Tekken 8 Season 2 updates spark controversy with balance changes and glitches, forcing Bandai Namco to address fan concerns and restore harmony to the game.
Thanks to the PS5 console bundle, Sony's adorable platformer Astro Bot remains very high in the UK's physical games chart. It's in second place, and has been in the top three for many weeks in a row.
Tekken 8 has returned to the top 10, coming back from the dead straight to number three.
Been so many good deals on the console with astro included this week. Might be why. Not knocking it by that comment BTW.
Interesting. Wonder if the narrative that this game is selling poorly is still floating around.
It’s not. And it is strange to wonder about notions in people’s heads but we all have to waste time thinking about something I suppose
Playing Astro Bot right now and having a blast. Though I really hate the tiny shape levels
I finished Astrobot 3 times hahaha...it's just THAT good! I finally caved and bought the PSVR (used and comes with 2 MOVE controllers and physical copy of Ark Park for $125) to play Rescue Mission and MY GOD it's an even better game! totally worth it!
its soo good, i played it for 5h straight yesterday haha
this one is way better then 7 and am enjoying it way more then MK1 and SF6.
So good
Over 75% on PS5 is nuts. Given PS4 still has a lot of players whats the Xbox share 5%? It's no surprise they're trying to phase out physical release on there no one's buying them
