Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the best-selling UK boxed game in one of the biggest release weeks in video games history.
It did remarkably well, so well that it kept Call of Duty from making No.1 during its debut week for the first time in 13 years.
It’s a surprise result, even with the Ubisoft viking game being on sale for a few days longer than Call of Duty (it was released on November 10th, while Call of Duty arrived November 13th). However, it is a very different games market this year due to COVID-19, with the majority of AAA Xbox and PlayStation game sales taking place digitally. As a result, we cannot say if Assassin’s Creed was the biggest selling game of the week, only that it was the biggest selling boxed game.
