So far, LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga does better than any other game in the series. Record sales, unprecedented attendance…
The toxic development of LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga is enjoying a happier ending so far. In the United Kingdom, the game is already one of the biggest successes of the year, ahead of the behemoths. A title also very popular with PC players.
The biggest launch of all time
Available from April 5, 2022, LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga is making the best start of the entire series in the UK in boxed version. The previous record was held by LEGO Indiana Jones, another George Lucas franchise.
With this performance, he thus becomes the second best selling game of 2022, after Pokémon Legends Arceus. This episode, on the other hand, beats the physical sales of Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring, a performance however to be put into perspective because The Skywalker Saga is a software that is really aimed at everyone. Even to children. It is also available on more platforms. Moreover, in terms of distribution, it does not move particularly with 31% of copies sold on PS5, 26% on Nintendo Switch, 23% on Xbox and 20% on PS4.
