IO Interactive‘s Hitman 3 has debuted at the top of the UK Charts, where it’s recorded 17% more sales than Hitman 2 achieved back in 2018.
Furthermore, the stealth sequel recorded the lion’s share on the PS5, with 49% of copies moved on Sony’s new home console. Meanwhile, 27% were recorded on Xbox consoles while PS4 ate up 25% of sales.
It was a pretty close call though, as only less than 1,000 units separating it from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Let’s not forget that Hitman 3 also posted the biggest digital sales record in the franchise’s entire history, too.
