Despite having a small userbase, the Switch 2 has dominated the UK retail chart throughout this summer, with Mario Kart World claiming five (non-consecutive) no.1s. The console’s reign continues this week, with new release Donkey Kong Bananza topping the all formats top 40. This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering Switch games are …
This week’s UK retail (physical) chart has a few fresh faces, along with surprise resurgences. The highest charting new arrival is Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, debuting at #2 in the all formats top 40. It was able to claim no.1 on PS5, but had to settle for #3 in both the Xbox …
Not much is going on within the latest UK retail chart, with no new arrivals to speak of. That’s no surprise considering not even the Switch saw a single new physical release last week. Mario Kart World has however returned to the top of the chart after being temporarily dethroned by Death Stranding 2: On …
Sony has managed to end Nintendo’s UK top 40 retail chart reign, with the critically acclaimed Death Stranding 2: On The Beach topping the chart. Consequently, the Switch 2’s pack-in Mario Kart World falls to #2, preventing it from claiming a fourth week at no.1. Despite the time of year, the UK top 40 sees …
Nintendo controls the UK physical (retail) chart this week, with Mario Kart World claiming a third consecutive no.1. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition also rose to #2 (up from #5) which appears to be down to a combination of sales from the Switch 2 and PC versions. This would suggest that Switch 2 stock was replenished …
It seems that the glitzy trailers for MindsEye were enough to secure a bunch of pre-orders. The critically panned shooter, which currently has a 37% Metacritic due to being blatantly unfinished, managed to enter at #4 in the UK’s all formats physical chart. It also managed to top the PS5 top ten and make #2 …
The UK retail (physical) charts are in, revealing which titles were purchased alongside a shiny new Switch 2 last week. The fact that nearly every physical release available on day one can be found within this week’s all formats top 40 suggests a strong launch. The only no show was Sid Meier’s Civilization VII. Coming …
The UK’s latest physical release chart sees a few new entries this week, while Sony’s Days of Play promotion has helped many PS5 titles climb the top 40. None of the new arrivals could take the top spot though. Elden Ring Nightreign had to settle for #3 in the all formats chart, while EA’s F1 …
The UK retail chart’s top ten is largely unchanged this week, with just a few games entering and departing. There is switch-up at the top though, with EA Sports FC 25 reclaiming no.1, which forces DOOM: The Dark Ages – last week’s chart topper – to #4. In addition to all formats top 40, EA …
Bethesda’s DOOM: The Dark Ages is no.1 in this week’s UK retail chart, topping not just the all formats top 40 but the PS5 and Xbox Series charts too. Taking no.1 in the Xbox chart comes a mild surprise considering it’s available on Game Pass. There’s a new entry at #2 also, and it’s one …
After a few weeks on sale, debuting at #2 during launch, acclaimed RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has climbed the UK retail chart to no.1. It’s our understanding copies have been hard to find since after it launched and stock has only just been replenished. The Kepler published RPG is also no.1 in the PS5 …
There’s just one new arrival within this week’s UK top 40 retail chart, and that’s Milestone’s racer MotoGP 25, way down at #36. Not a particularly great start, and it’s unlikely to stick around. One game with staying power is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which has only fallen two places during its second week on …
WB’s Hogwarts Legacy has managed to hold onto no.1 in the UK all formats retail chart, fuelled by strong sales of the PS4, Xbox One and Switch versions. At #2 it’s a new arrival for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which also took no.1 in the PS5 chart and #2 in the Xbox Series top ten …
The UK retail chart is largely stagnant this week, with just a few titles swapping places inside the top ten. We do have a couple of new arrivals, however, so it isn’t entirely void of activity. Hogwarts Legacy is the UK’s no.1 for a second week running, which appears to be down to a combination …
The latest retail charts are filled with re-entries of older discounted titles, suggesting last week was sluggish for physical media sales. Almost half the top 40 comprises re-entries, in fact. These are turbulent times. Hogwarts Legacy has returned to the top spot, seemingly due to the Switch version being discounted somewhere, as the wand flicking …
