Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s UK Retail Sales Have Already Dropped By 89%

As reported by GamesIndustry head Christopher Dring on Twitter, the UK retail sales of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth have seen a decline of 89% during its second week. The latest AAA release by Square Enix has taken second place in the sales figures. On the flip side, the new WWE 2K24 has peaked at the top spot, with its launch sales rising by 26% compared to its predecessor.

Unicorn Overlord is No.7 in the UK boxed charts. Granted, it doesn’t take much to get in there these days. But still!

WWE 2K24 is No.1, with launch sales up 26% on the debut of WWE 2K23. Nice!

FF7: Rebirth is down to No.2 with an 89% drop week-on-week.

All physical data.

While the drop in retail sales of FF7 Rebirth can be worrisome, Chris thinks that it’s “on the higher side of normal.” Additionally, a drop in digital sales is suspected to be much less by the community.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Is A Massive Leap Over Trilogy Part 1

The second part of the FF7 remake trilogy steps it up a notch and improves just about anything seen in the first remake. From the flashy real-time combat to huge amounts of mini-games, there is a lot of fun to be had in the fantastic reimagining of an already unforgettable RPG adventure. I find it unsurprising that it became the second-most downloaded PS5 game in February in a single day.
