We were hoping for sights of absurdity in this week’s UK retail chart, with the Black Friday deals perhaps helping Forspoken to re-enter the top ten or causing a seemingly random licensed game to storm the chart – much like Jumanji: The Video Game did a few years ago.
Alas, this week’s UK top ten isn’t all that different from a regular week. That’s not to say that Black Friday didn’t have an impact, however.
EA Sports FC 24 returned to no.1, with Hogwarts Legacy and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III falling to #2 and #3.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder moved down to #4, and then at #5 it’s Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe re-entered the top ten at #6, up from #11. Nintendo Switch Sports sticks around at #7, Assassin’s Creed Mirage held onto #8, Mortal Kombat 1 dropped to #9, and then Star Wars Jedi: Survivor sees us out at #10 – up from #32.
Sonic Superstars at #11 is another Black Friday winner, dashing from #24.
Resident Evil 4 climbed from #36 to #22, while Street Fighter 6 returned at #33. Diablo IV also showed its demonic face again at #36. Stray then strolled in at #38. In or out?
