Forza Motorsport 7 Sales

There’s few words better than “free”. Microsoft apparently agrees, and has made its headlining sim racer free to play this weekend for XBox Live Gold members.

With 2017 now in the rear-view mirror, the final UK sales chart for the year has been released. With the chart covering sales up to December 30, it’s impressive to see, GT Sport back in the top 10.

The latest sales rankings from the UK show another strong performance for the racing genre. Courtesy of GfK Chart-Track, the list (running up to December 23) shows the usual suspects continue to place in the Top 20.

Another week of game sales has closed in the UK with decent performance in the racing genre. As one of the final shopping weeks before Christmas, it was always going to be interesting to see how the big titles could perform. In the end, it’s a combination of holds rather than gains.

Despite a large software falloff in the wake of Black Friday, two sim racing titles placed in the UK Top 10 sellers list last week. Gran Turismo Sport and Forza Motorsport 7 continue their strong performance in the region as seen in previous weeks.

The dust has settled on another Black Friday in the UK. Despite being a more recent phenomenon in the region, consumers have snapped up the event big time. Sales this year were more intense than ever with the gaming industry seeing a huge spike in terms of purchases. This week’s top 10 seen an impressive jump for GT Sport with nice placements for Forza Motorsport 7 and Need For Speed Payback to boot.

Market research group NPD has released October 2017’s US video game sales rankings. It was a busy month for releases across the board but racing titles continued to sell through the month with the arrival of two hyped up releases. However, the results turn out to be quite surprising and not what you might have expected.

Following some pretty prolific launches, the racing genre is doing well in the UK right now. Last week’s sales numbers show that not two, not three, but four racers charted in the top 10. Strong continued showings from previously released games were joined by Need For Speed Payback, the latest offering from Ghost and EA.

This week’s UK video game sales numbers have shown off some impressive figures for the racing genre. Three big titles have seen noteworthy holds or moves up the sales ladder in the face of stiff competition.
