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 …
After the record-breaking movie launch, we expected to see Minecraft return to no.1 in the latest physical chart. While such a thing hasn’t occurred within the all formats top 40 – where Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows managed to claim another week at no.1 – the evergreen Minecraft did top the Switch top 20 chart. Minecraft: …
Rebellion’s countryside ramble Atomfall doesn’t appear to be ‘bombing’ at retail, arriving at #2 in the UK physical top 40 chart. Assassin’s Creed Shadows remains no.1 for a second week. Atomfall is just one of three new arrivals within the top ten. Cel-shaded action RPG The First Berserker: Khazan – also published by Fireshine – …
The delays seem to have paid off for Ubisoft. The publisher is currently celebrating 2m sales of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which also claims the top spot in this week’s UK retail chart. Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition had to settle for #2, although it did take no.1 in the Switch top 20. These aren’t the …
Despite strong competition from Split Fiction and Monster Hunter Wilds, annual sports update WWE 2K25 was able to claim no.1 within the UK retail (physical) chart. It’s also no.1 in the PS5, PS4, and Xbox Series single format charts. Monster Hunter Wilds remains the PC’s no.1 (yes, Capcom put out a boxed version) while the …
The EA published co-op adventure Split Fiction is off to an impressive start, with 1m copies sold within 48 hours of going on sale.

Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds is going great guns, with over 1m copies sold in six hours of going on sale, and 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam during launch. It’s selling well physically too, topping the latest all formats UK retail chart. It’s also no.1 in the PC, PS5, and Xbox Series top tens. The …
Casually strolling back into work on a Friday afternoon, after a cheeky pint and a pub ploughman’s lunch, this week’s UK physical release chart has finally arrived. There’s just one newcomer in the all formats top 40 – SEGA’s Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii at #2. It also turned up at #2 in …
This week’s UK retail (physical release) chart sees four new arrivals. The Take 2 published Sid Meier’s Civilization VII was the highest charting, arriving at #2 in the all formats chart.

The UK retail chart sees a new no.1 this week in the form of Sniper Elite: Resistance, published physically by Fireshine Games. It not only takes no.1 in the all formats chart, but the PS4, PS5 and Xbox Series charts as well – despite being available on Game Pass. Ahead of the imminent sequel, the …
The latest UK physical release chart, for the week ending 25th Jan, had us rubbing our eyes. EA Sports FC 24 managed to return to #7 in the top 40, outselling the newest iteration – which is currently at #16, down a remarkable thirteen places this week. Why? The PS5 version of FC 24 appears …
This week’s UK retail chart features the first new no.1 of the year in the form of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD. The Metacritic score (78%) is probably lower than Nintendo expected but it appears to be selling well regardless. Two other new arrivals can be found in the all formats top 40. Koei Tecmo’s …
