Lockdown saw remarkable sales of video games in the UK.
The Entertainment Retailers Association published sales data for 23rd March to 13th June, and it shows video games sold bucketloads on these shores.
The two top-selling entertainment products were videos: Star Wars Episode 9 – The Rise of Skywalker in at number one with 637,484 copies sold during lockdown, and Frozen 2 in at two with 541,783 copies sold.
But video games dominate the lockdown sales chart overall (of the top 40 titles, 21 were games, 16 video and three albums). EA’s FIFA 20 was the UK’s best-selling video game during the period, selling 506,572 copies. Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare sold 474,902.
