FIFA 17 smashes franchise records, tops U.K. Chart in the process

EA Sports’ FIFA 17 has topped the U.K. All Format Chart following its launch last week, smashing franchise records in the process.

FIFA 13 previously held the series’ record for debut sales, which FIFA 17 has managed to better, while sales are up almost 18 percent over last year’s instalment in the venerable footie franchise. Considering the amount of new additions to FIFA 17, including a full-fledged story mode, it’s probably not too surprising gamers have flocked to the title.
