UK Call of Duty launch sales down 40% year-on-year GSD data shows that Call of Duty: Vanguard struggled at digital and physical retail.

Call of Duty: Vanguard's launch sales in the UK are down 40% over last year's game, the latest GSD data shows.

Physical retail sales dropped 26% over last year's game whereas digital sales fell 44%.

It is a disappointing result, but Vanguard is still the second biggest game launch of the year behind FIFA 22 (as usual).

The game's launch sales are down 35% compared to last year's title.

However, Just Dance is a game that tends to sell well over time, and launch sales are typically slow.

Indeed, although opening week sales are down 35% over Just Dance 2021, they are up 17% over Just Dance 2020. »

Ms Grisham claimed that former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was involved in planning some of these meetings. »

The Howard protests have gained support from students at other historically Black colleges including Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse and Spelman.

The Atlanta-based schools held a joint protest last month against poor living conditions and housing shortages on their own campuses. »
