The latest update from Gfk’s physical sales charts for the United Kingdom has unveiled something unexpected. According to Chris Dring of Games Industry, the Premium Upgrade of the highly anticipated game Starfield has debuted at seventh place in the UK’s top ten list of physical sales.
The Premium Upgrade is specifically designed for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. This package allows players to gain early access to the game without the necessity of buying the full Premium Edition. Remarkably, this upgrade is not a digital code but comes in a physical box, making its top ten debuts all the more noteworthy.
Starfield is set to officially launch on September 6th for Xbox Series X/S and PC platforms. While the full data concerning its rank in the UK physical sales will not be available until next week, it is already amassing a significant player base through early access. Given the momentum, it’s poised to take the top spot, but whether it can outperform titles like “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” remains
Starfield Premium Upgrade has actually made the Top Ten in the UK physical charts. It’s at No.7. That’s impressive for a code in a box that just unlocks the game a few days early for Game Pass subscribers. Nice little earner this mini-early access. I wonder if it’ll catch on
