Blasting through those sale charts!

Though we don’t have the official sales figures yet, Metroid Dread is doing really well. So well in fact that just the physical versions of the game have lead to the biggest launch for the franchise in the UK, beating Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on the Nintendo Wii.

Metroid Dread is the fifth biggest release on the Nintendo Switch for this year, trailing after Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, Zelda: Skyward Sword, Monster Hunter Rise and New Pokemon Snap.
