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 …
A combination of new releases and early Black Friday deals have given the UK retail chart a significant shake-up, with around half the top 40 comprising of new titles and re-entries. The belated Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy has helped it return to no.1, impressively dethroning Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III – now at …
Despite middling reviews, with the Metacritic score currently sitting at a lackluster 53%, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III has managed to top all formats top 40, along with the PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series charts. Let’s face it – as one of the biggest names in gaming, it was always going to have impressive …
It seems many gamers were happy to spend their dollars on RoboCop: Rogue City. The Nacon-published grisly shooter is the highest charting retail release of last week, entering at a respectable #4 in the all formats chart. It also took #2 in the Xbox Series chart, and #3 in the PS5 chart. A few other …
The UK retail chart continues to be a hubbub of activity, with four new games making their debuts. Konami’s Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 was the highest charting, entering the all formats top 40 at #4. It also turned up at #3 in both the PS5 and Xbox Series charts, and #9 in …
PS5 exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is off to an incredibly impressive start, even able to fend off Super Mario Bros. Wonder to become the UK’s new no.1 in the retail chart. This does come as a mild surprise – Switch physical release sales tend to be strong in the UK, especially for major releases. Sony’s …
The UK retail chart is in, revealing a few surprising new arrivals and re-entries. Some are due to Amazon’s recent Big Deal sale, while others are seemingly down to dwindling physical sales numbers. CI Games’ Lords of the Fallen was the highest charting new arrival, taking #4 in the all formats chart. This Unreal Engine …
Last week’s UK retail chart battle, which is more of a scuffle these days, saw EA Sports FC 24 fending off both Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Detective Pikachu Returns to claim a second week at no.1 Assassin’s Creed Mirage had to settle for #2 – not just in the all formats charts, but across the …
No license, no problem. EA Sports FC 24 is the UK’s new number one in the all formats retail chart, becoming the second fastest selling boxed release of the year behind Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. GI.biz does however note that sales were down 30% over FIFA 23, with only the new and improved Switch version …
The UK retail chart is a hubbub of activity, with four new games arriving in the top ten, and a new no.1 to boot. It’s Warner Bros.’ Mortal Kombat 1 that appropriately takes the top spot, also topping the PS5 and Xbox Series charts. The Switch version made a showing too, entering at #5 in …
The UK retail charts are in, revealing that The Crew Motorfest managed to enter at #2 in the all formats top 40. Coincidentally, it also took #2 in the PS5 top ten. Ubisoft’s open-world racer was the only new arrival, meaning Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster – a GAME exclusive in the UK …
Bethesda’s sci-fi opus Starfield has entered the UK retail chart at no.1 This is pretty impressive and for a few different reasons. Firstly, and most obviously, it’s available on Game Pass – which around 40% of Xbox owners reportedly subscribe to. Secondly, the retail version is Xbox Series X only, with the majority of Xbox …
Starfield’s two-stage rollout has helped earn it an early placing within the UK top ten retail chart. The £34.99 Starfield Premium Edition Upgrade pack – as it’s officially known – has entered the all-formats chart at #7. This early access unlock package, which also includes a story expansion, can also be found at no.1 in …
The Bandai-Namco published Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon has shot to the top of the all formats retail chart, quite possibly giving the long-running series its first ever no.1. The mech shooter has been very well received by critics. Player feedback has been a little mixed, however, with anger aimed at the steep difficulty …
The evergreen Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – a game almost as old as the Switch itself – was the best-selling retail release in the UK last week. We imagine the Switch proving a popular summer holiday travel accessory was the reason. At #2 it’s another evergreen title – the ten-year-old GTA V. This appears to …
