Boxed PS5 Game Sales Surge in the UK Following Restock of Sony’s Next-gen Console

Boxed PS5 game sales in the UK experienced a significant jump following a restock of Sony’s next-gen console.

As reported by Gamesindustry.biz, the new PS5 stock had a big impact on retail game sales. Overall, retail PS5 game sales are up 64% compared to last week. Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man: Miles Morales jumped to the 2^nd spot following a sales increase of 172%. The game was only bested by Nintendo’s Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury which sold 1000 copies more in retail.

Sony’s highly-rated Demon’s Souls Remake only experienced a sales spike due to the renewed stock – sales increased by 123% over the previous week and re-entered the UK boxed Top 40 at no. 21.

Interestingly, Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II also made its return in the charts, taking the 3^rd spot below Miles Morales following a 3992% sales increase. According to GamesIndustry.biz, the recent price drop at major retailers allowed for this massive sales spike.

Sony’s PlayStation 5 is available globally now, although you’ll be hard-pressed to actually get your hands on one – demand has been high and stocks have been low ever since the console’s launch back in November of last year.
