This week’s UK chart is more eventful than usual. Not only did a bunch of new releases hit retailers last week, but Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale was also underway. First, the new releases. PGA Tour 2K23 was the highest charting new entry, making a respectable #7 in the all-formats physical chart. It also took …
Slightly later than usual, the UK retail chart has finally arrived. Brace yourself – we may only have a three-day wait until the next chart, assuming it goes live on Monday. The top two positions remain unchanged, held by FIFA 23 and Splatoon 3 for a second week running. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, LEGO Star …
The UK charts are finally with us, revealing EA’s FIFA 23 as the new no.1 in the all-formats retail chart. Not that much of a surprise, all told, apart from the fact that even the Switch version took no.1 in the Switch top 20, dethroning Splatoon 3. This also means Splatoon 3 is no longer …
Despite launching months after the digital version, the belated retail release of Stray has proven to be a surprise hit. It enters the UK chart at #3 this week, putting it above Nintendo Switch Sports at #4. It also managed to claim no.1 in the PS5 top ten. This means it outsold The Last of …
The top three positions in the UK chart remain unchanged, meaning Splatoon 3 is no.1 for a second week running. We had an inkling this may be the case. It’s followed by PS5 pack-in Horizon Forbidden West at #2, and the evergreen Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at #3. Splatoon 3 is proving to be a …
Last week’s UK chart saw five new arrivals. This week, four new titles managed to enter. Unprecedented events in a digital era. We jest, of course. Splatoon 3 leads the way, dethroning Sony’s The Last of Us: Part 1 remake. All signs point to a very successful launch for Splatoon – Nintendo Japan reports of …
The PS5’s The Last of Us: Part 1 remake is the UK’s new no.1 in the physical all-formats chart. While this may sound as if Sony has another fast-selling exclusive on their hands, GI.biz’s Chris Dring Tweeted that sales weren’t “particularly big” being half of what the Saints Row reboot managed. The £70 price …
Despite some less-than-positive reviews, Deep Silver’s Saints Row reboot debuts at no.1 in the all-formats retail chart. The comedic crime spree also took no.1 in both the Xbox Series and PS4 charts, and #2 in the PS5 chart. Atlus’ JRPG sequel Soul Hackers 2 put in a strong showing also, entering the all-formats chart at …
EA’s Madden NFL 23 is the sole new entry in this week’s UK top 40, entering the retail chart at #18. The single format charts paint a rosier picture. The US sports sim took #6 in the PS5 chart, #15 in the PS4 chart, #10 in the Xbox One chart, and #8 in the Xbox …
The UK retail charts have finally decided to show their faces, some three days later than usual, revealing that SEGA’s Two Point Campus entered at #2 in the all-formats top 40. The comical university management sim – a follow-up to Two Point Hospital – also took #3 in both the Switch and PS5 charts, #5 …
Nintendo’s Xenoblade Chronicles 3 – last week’s chart-topper – has fallen to #10 during its second week on sale. This isn’t quite as severe as it may sound, however – many JRPGs leave the top 40 entirely the week after launch. Horizon Forbidden West takes its place at the top of the UK retail chart. …
Coming as no surprise, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is the UK’s new no.1 in the all-formats retail chart. The Switch exclusive JRPG arrived to rave reviews, with some critics calling it the best in the genre on the system. The Metacritic currently sits at an impressive 89%. Switch RPGs tend to chart highly one week before …
Square-Enix’s Live A Live was the only new entry in the UK top 40 last week, debuting at a respectable #6. The RPG remake also took #3 in the Switch top 20. Horizon Forbidden West returned to no.1 in the all-formats retail chart, proving that Sony’s PS5 hardware bundle is popular. That said, it’s likely …
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has returned to the UK chart top spot, with a minor price cut to thank. Amazon Prime Day has given the rest of the top 40 a shake-up too, with a handful of Ubisoft games benefitting greatly. Far Cry 6 managed to return to the top ten, up from …
This week’s UK top 40 sees three new arrivals. We’re honestly grateful to have chart news to discuss, especially when summer is typically quiet. Bandai-Namco’s Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series – a collection of two PlayStation platformer remasters – was the highest-charting new release, entering the all-formats retail chart at #5. It also made #7 in …
