This week’s UK retail chart, dated for the week ending 11th Jan, merely sees a shuffle within the top ten.
EA Sports FC 25 has returned to no.1, swapping places with Hogwarts Legacy. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 – the PS5 chart’s no.1 – climbed to #3, the recently discounted Elden Ring dropped to #4, while Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate swaggered up to #5.
Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition is also on the rise, up to #6. It appears that the PC version is currently selling well, topping the PC boxed chart.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe dropped two places to #7, Super Mario Party Jamboree jived to #8, Nintendo Switch Sports moved down to #9, and then at #10 it’s Mortal Kombat 1 – meaning two MK games are in the top ten this week. In fact, Mortal Kombat X isn’t far outside the top ten either, re-entering at #17 presumably due to a price cut somewhere.
The top 40 also sees its first new arrival of the year. Role player revival Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana managed to scrape in at #38. It didn’t manage to make an individual chart appearance on either Switch or PS5 though.
Chart provider GfK managed to defy the odds and publish a 3DS chart. This week, it’s a rare top five that sees Culdcept Revolt at no.1, followed by Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl, Luigi’s Mansion, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros, and Fire Emblem Warriors. This means there are still new 3DS games out there if you know where to look.
