FIFA 19 Debuts #1 In UK, But Sold 25% Less Than FIFA 18’s First Week

FIFA 19 has predictably debuted at the top of the UK sales chart, but there’s a catch this year. The game has dropped 25 percent in sales in comparison to FIFA 18, which is due to multiple factors apparently.

First of all, each year Electronic Arts is pushing the boundaries when it comes to the digital offering. This time around, we even have the possibility to subscribe to a new Origin Access tier, Premier, that allows players to have all the EA games releasing until 2019 for a single fee.

On top of that, there’s another consideration you need to make when it comes to FIFA 19 sales. Many FIFA players are Fortnite players too, and the Epic Games title is debuting Season 6 right now, which means they could be busy on their other favorite game at the moment.

Anyway, here’s the full chart for last week:

1. FIFA 19
2. Spider-Man
3. Shadow of the Tomb Raider
4. Crash Bandicoot: N.Sane Trilogy
5. Grand Theft Auto 5
6. Mario Kart 8: Deluxe
7. The Elder Scrolls Online
8. NBA 2K18
9. Valkyria Chronicles 4
10. Minecraft: Xbox Edition
