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 …
For a second week running LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the UK’s no.1 in both the all formats retail chart and the PS5 top twenty. World Cup fever helps FIFA 23 stay at #2 for a second week, with the evergreen Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remaining at #3. Potential GOTY candidate Zelda: Tears …
The venerable LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has returned to the UK chart top spot this week, with signs pointing to retailers – or at least one retailer – bundling it with a shiny new, currently discounted, PlayStation 5 console. It’s also no.1 in the PS5 retail chart, you see. A sales boost of the …
None of last week’s new release releases were able to enter the top ten. Instead, Remnant II and Disney Illusion Land debut at #16 and #18, respectively. The mini (mouse) Metroidvania did manage to take a respectable #8 in the Switch chart, however, sandwiching it between Animal Crossing: New Horizons and NSMB.U Deluxe. Remnant II, …
This week’s UK top ten features two new arrivals. One you can likely easily guess – Nintendo’s Pikmin 4 has carried itself to the top spot, dislodging the recently discounted FIFA 23. This is quite possibly the first time a Pikmin game has shot to the top of the chart – Pikmin 3 on Wii …
Amazon Prime Day has given the UK retail chart a slight shake-up, with the most noteworthy occurrence being Battlefield 2042 re-entering at #5. The online shooter was available for a mere £5.99 during Amazon’s two day sale, propelling it back into the top ten. Other top 40 re-entries include Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach …
There’s no stopping Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Link’s latest remains no.1 for another week in the UK retail chart, although it should be noted that last week was incredibly quiet for new releases. There was one new arrival, however – NiS America’s well-received RPG The Legend of Heroes: Trails Into Reverie debuted at #22 …
A handful of last week’s new releases managed to penetrate the UK retail charts, with two making top ten debuts. Those two were THQ Nordic’s AEW: Fight Forever at #3 – which currently has a 65% Metacritic score on PS5 and a disappointing 47% on Switch – and the well-received Story of Seasons: A Wonderful …
It was a surprisingly busy week for new releases last week, especially considering the time of year. Of these new titles, four were able to enter the UK retail chart. The PS5 exclusive Final Fantasy XVI managed to top both the all formats top 40 and the PS5 chart. Sonic Origins Plus was the second …
After being nudged from the UK retail chart top spot by Diablo IV, Nintendo’s almighty Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom returns to no.1 this week. There’s a new entry at #2 – EA/Codemasters’ F1 23. While it couldn’t claim an all-formats no.1, it did take the top spot in the PS5, PS4, and Xbox Series …
Despite packing a critically acclaimed punch, Street Fighter 6 couldn’t dethrone Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom last week. Diablo IV has managed it though – and it’s also no.1 in the PS5 and Xbox Series charts. The hellish top-down RPG wasn’t able to top the PS4 chart, however, where Hogwarts Legacy still rules the roost. …
Not even the might of Street Fighter 6 – with its near universal acclaim, and reports of 1m sales already worldwide – can stop Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Capcom’s latest brawler had to settle for #2 in the UK retail chart, with Zelda claiming a fourth consecutive no.1. It’s difficult to say if Diablo …
Nintendo’s runaway success, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, has managed to claim a third consecutive no.1 in the UK all-formats retail chart. But with Street Fighter 6 out this week and Diablo 4 due the week after, it may struggle to reach a fourth (or possibly fifth) consecutive no.1. We shall see. The retail chart …
Given that it’s still generating a buzz on social media, it’s no surprise that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom remains the UK’s no.1 in the boxed physical chart. Zelda fever has also helped Breath of the Wild hold onto #8 for a second week running. Not only this, but Zelda: Skyward Sword HD has returned …
