Indie game about exploring “distant planets” Hello Games shows excellent sales not only on PC, where the game has already sold about half a million copies on Steam, but also on PlayStation 4.
In the UK, the game debuted immediately at number one on the sales chart. According to the Chart-Track company, which tracks sales of games in the Foggy Albion, this is the most successful start of sales of a new IP on PlayStation 4 and the second most successful in general – after Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.
Recall that the UK games market is one of the largest in the world. According to Newzoo, it will take the sixth place in the world among all countries in terms of income by the end of 2016. In Europe, it is the second largest after Germany. The behavior of British players often largely coincides with the behavior of American and Canadian.
