Although players on Steam rather praise the new part of Need for Speed and remind some of the Underground, Electronic Arts completely overslept with marketing. The game was revealed shortly before its release, although it was long speculated and hardly seen.
Result recession in the UK. NFS: unattached absent from the top ten best-selling physical games in the UK. Located up to 17th place. The game sold 67% fewer copies in its first week than Need for Speed: Heat released in 2019.
This is due to insufficient marketing and media coverage. EA didn’t even send review codes (even after release).
Other new items also did not make it to the top. Marvel Midnight Suns we can even find it in 26th place and Callisto Protocol then in 6th place. The first remains FIFA 23 and others Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2. The PlayStation exclusive has moved from fifth to third place. God of War: Ragnarok.
