Rebellion's Sniper Elite 5 claims No.1 in the UK boxed charts, according to the latest GfK figures.
The game didn't need to sell big numbers to achieve the result, and launch physical sales are 64% lower than Sniper Elite 4, which released in February 2017 (when it reached No.2). Of course, the download market has accelerated significantly since 2017 and download data is not included (it arrives later in the week), so this isn't an indicator of the game's overall performance.
Sniper Elite 5 sold mostly on PlayStation in physical form, with just 8% of sales coming on Xbox platforms. This will be the result of the game's inclusion in the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. Also, Xbox game sales tend to be more digital than physical compared with PlayStation, partially because of the Xbox Series S console, which doesn't include a disc drive (the Xbox Series S is currently the best-selling Xbox in the UK).
Last week's No.1, Horizon Forbidden West, drops to No.2 this week after a 33% slide in sales. The game continues to sell strongly alongside PS5 hardware. The highest riser this week is also a PS5 game: Gran Turismo 7, which is up five places to No.5 after a 109% sales bump.
Nintendo Switch Sports is down to No.3 after a mild 1% drop in sales week-on-week.

Outside of Sniper Elite 5, there were some other new releases in the Top 40. The House of the Dead: Remake on Nintendo Switch is at No.14, Kao the Kangaroo is at No.26, and My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure is at No.31.
