EA Motive‘s Dead Space Remake has topped the UK All Format Chart, although its physical sales were less than half of The Callisto Protocol, which launched during the first week of December. The PS5 version of the game accounted for 80% of boxed sales.
However, there’s quite a few key things to mention about both games regarding their performance. Dead Space Remake was released only for PS5, PC and Xbox Series X/S with an average price of £63, while The Callisto Protocol was a cross-generation release with an average selling price of £47.
Striking Distance Studios’ sci-fi horror title was also released during the Christmas season, at which point physical games tend to do try well as games are bought as Christmas presents. Finally, Dead Space Remake was reportedly plagued by low stock in regards to its physical launch.
Dead Space Remake was released on January 27, 2023 for PS5, PC and Xbox Series X/S. You can read our full review here.
