EA’s Dead Space remake is the UK’s new no.1, displacing Nintendo’s Fire Emblem Engage in the process. The sci-fi horror also managed to take no.1 in both the PS5 and Xbox Series charts.

Nintendo’s Fire Emblem Engage has become the first new no.1 of 2023.

This first UK chart of 2023 is here, revealing that God of War: Ragnarok was the biggest-selling retail release last week. FIFA 23 also managed to hold onto #2. Indeed, there’s very little change within the top ten, with just Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II at #3 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at #4 …
With no new releases out – One Piece Odyssey (due Jan 12th) appears to be the first retail release of 2023 – it’s no surprise to find the UK retail chart rather quiet. There has been a slight shuffle though. God of War: Ragnarok is back at no.1, nudging FIFA 23 to #2. At #3 …
The chilly weather has seemingly impacted the UK chart, with the top ten mostly remaining frozen this week. This means FIFA 23 is no.1 for a second week running, with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, God of War: Ragnarok, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokémon Violet, and Nintendo Switch Sports following behind. At #7 it’s …
The UK Christmas chart always boils down to a battle between FIFA and Call of Duty. 2022 just so happens to be a FIFA year, something the World Cup no doubt played a key part in. FIFA 23 being available on Switch likely helped too. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II settles for #2 while …
This week’s UK top 40 sees two new arrivals. Possibly even three if we count Just For Games’ Instant Sports, which launched in May 2021 but has somehow belatedly entered the top 40 at #38. IAM8BIT’s anticipated physical release of Cuphead took #18, putting it one position higher than the recent NFS Unbound at #19. …

If we were gambling men, our money would have gone on Pokémon Scarlet being the more popular of the two new Pokémon adventures. This week’s UK chart proves that we should never be allowed to step foot into Ladbrokes – Pokémon Violet is the UK’s new no.1, with Pokémon Scarlet at #2. The Dual Pack …
This week’s UK retail chart suggests God of War Ragnarok is a colossal commercial success.

Last week’s UK retail chart saw five new entries. Lo and behold, the same has happened for a second week running. Ten entries within two weeks? These are exciting times for UK chart fans.

EA’s FIFA 23 remains unstoppable, fighting off an onslaught of new releases. It’s the UK’s no.1 for a fourth week running, although that’s likely to change next week.
