Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Valhalla is one of just a few new games that have been released in recent months that sold better as a physical release than a digital one. It's worth remembering, of course, that a free-to-play Call of Duty battle royale game was released earlier this year, and it continues to be a big success, which may have impacted sales. However, if we now add in digital downloads (as predicted earlier in the week), Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War would have comfortably been No.1, with Assassin's Creed Valhalla coming in at No.2.ĭespite the digital success, when combining digital and physical together, the new Call of Duty's sales are still down over 16% compared with last year's entry.
Black Ops Cold War sold 64% fewer copies at launch in a box compared with last year's Modern Warfare (GfK data), which meant that for the first time in 13 years the game failed to top the UK boxed charts. It follows a disappointing physical retail performance for the game.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War had a huge first week as a digital download in the UK.ĭownload launch sales are up almost 39% compared with last year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare release, according to the latest GSD download report.
