Prior to launch, many expected that Borderlands 3 would end up being one of 2019’s best-selling games come the end of the year. Based on data we’ve now seen so far, it seems like that could prove to be true.
Borderlands 3 was the top-selling game last week in the UK, topping the region’s weekly video game sales chart. However, the loot shooter didn’t just beat out its competition for this week, though. As GamesIndustry.biz reports, Borderlands 3 is the biggest physical launch of the year beating out the previous winner which was Days Gone.
Despite this feat though, the game’s sales were less than half of that compared to the physical sales of Borderlands 2 at launch. However, this is most likely attributed mainly to the rise in digital game sales more than anything else. All in all, it’s a strong launch for 2K Games and Gearbox Software.
As for the rest of the list, Microsoft’s Gears 5 ended up debuting in second place this week while Konami’s eFootball PES 2020 came in at third. Last week’s chart-topper in NBA 2K20 then came in at fourth while Greedfall debuted on the list at fifth. Other mentionable debuts on the UK chart this week include Daemon x Machina at 19th overall while NHL 20 barely cracked the top-40 landing at 36th.
You can find the full top-40 list from last week down below. Stay tuned for our official review of Borderlands 3 which should be dropping later this week.
