Collection [I~III] debuts fifth in UK physical charts behind packed release week

Launch week in the UK brought a solid, not spectacular, debut. The Daily Game News puts the debut at fifth in the UK physical charts, describing a solid rather than spectacular opening against a crowded week.

The top of the chart, per The Daily Game News's rundown: EA Sports FC 27 held No. 1 for a third straight week, with Star Wars: Galactic Racer entering at second, Gears of War: E-Day at third and Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival at fourth. Three brand-new releases landing at once left little room for anything else, however well it sold.

The contrast with the pre-launch picture is sharp: the Collection topped the US Switch 2 eShop pre-load charts days before the October 8 launch, so the UK physical fifth may say more about a crowded boxed week than about demand on its lead platform. Physical charts exclude digital sales.
