Thanks to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, the first place in the game sales ranking in Ukraine was taken by a PC project
November 2024 in Ukrainian retail was marked by two important events: the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl and the Black Friday promotion.
Here's What We Know
This time, the first place in the sales ranking was taken by a PC game - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which is the first time in three years. This includes all types of editions, from standard to collector's edition.
Sergiy Shevchenko, Head of Console Gaming at ERC, noted that such a surge in sales is typical only for the moment of launch, as collector's editions are released in limited editions. He also emphasised the significant interest in the game.
Thus, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 managed to outsell EA SPORTS FC, which usually leads sales. It is also important to note that the game for Xbox Series X entered the overall ranking for the first time - it took 37th place.
In November, Astro Bot, one of the leaders of the previous months, dropped to the tenth position. Instead, Minecraft unexpectedly dropped out of the top 10 and took 19th place, which is unusual for this game.
ERC analysts stressed that the rankings were significantly affected by discounts.
