Among October’s other new releases, Peak ranked seventh in North America and sixth in Europe, Star Wars: Galactic Racer placed eighth in both, and Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve came ninth and 14th respectively. In Europe, EA Sports FC 27 was the only October release besides Call of Duty to outsell BeamNG.drive; Phantom Blade Zero did not.
