Just as the Olympic Games draw to a close, SEGA’s official Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 tie-in climbs to #3 in the UK all-formats top 40 chart – its highest-ever chart position. The sports compendium claimed #11 at launch and was at #8 last week. F1 2021 remains the UK’s no.1 for a third week running. …
A handful of last week’s new titles gained physical releases, but only one managed to break the UK top 40 – NEO: The World Ends with You at a respectable #10. The Square-Enix published JRPG also made #4 in the PS4 chart and #8 in the Switch chart, so we can almost certainly consider it …
EA’s F1 2021 had to settle for second place within the UK chart at launch. All change during its second week on sale – the annual motorsport update is the current UK no.1, ushering Zelda: Skyward Sword HD to #2. The PS5 was restocked at GAME last week (an alleged 10,000 units were available), which …
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is the UK’s new no.1, fending off competition from EA’s F1 2021. The annual motorsport update had to settle for #2, although it did top the PS4 chart. According to GI.biz, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is only the fourth Zelda game to claim no.1. The …
All signs point to PS5 consoles being restocked last week – Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart has managed to return to the UK chart top spot, climbing from #6. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales usually resurfaces following a PS5 restock, but not this week – it dropped one position to #12. Our guess is that only …
In what was a slow week for UK game sales, Mario Golf: Super Rush had no trouble maintaining the UK chart top spot. FIFA 21 also held onto #2 for the second week running. The rest of the top ten merely saw a slight shuffle, with the only noteworthy occurrence being Switch launch title Zelda: …
Nintendo was the winner of this week’s UK chart battle, with new release Mario Golf: Super Rush managing to claim no.1 in the all-formats top 40. It wasn’t the only new arrival. Bandai-Namco’s multiformat action RPG Scarlet Nexus – which boasts an impressive 80% Metacritic – entered at #8. SEGA’s Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 – …
The UK top 40 isn’t without a few surprises this week. The main takeaway is that the riveting PS5 exclusive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart has bagged a second week at no.1. At #2 it’s the surprise return of Minecraft Dungeons, which also manages to top the Switch top 20 due to a minor price …
Coming as little surprise, PlayStation 5 exclusive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is no.1 in the UK all-formats retail chart. GfK (via GI.biz) reports launch week sales of Ratchet’s physical release were similar to New Pokémon Snap and Monster Hunter: Rise on Switch. It also managed to outperform Returnal’s launch week sales three times over, …
Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 has entered the UK retail chart at #12, being the one and only new release to break this week’s UK top 40. This means it was a no show for both Nintendo’s DC Super Hero Girls and Outright Games’ The Last Kids On Earth and the Staff of Doom. We …
Even though several PS5 exclusives have launched this year, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales remains synonymous with the system, it seems. The web-slinger is back at no.1 in the UK multiformat chart, suggesting retailers received more PS5 stock last week. The comic book caper was also able to fend off new release Biomutant, which enters at …
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is no longer the UK’s no.1, falling to #3 during its second week on sale. Resident Evil Village takes its place, giving Capcom a second (albeit non-consecutive) no.1. Position #2 is held by Nintendo’s 3DS RPG revamp Miitopia, which also manages to claim no.1 in the Switch chart. Deep Silver’s Rust …
EA’s ravishing Mass Effect: Legendary Edition remaster – which currently boasts a 90% Metacritic – is no.1 in this week’s UK top 40. It also tops both the Xbox One and PS4 charts, meaning Resident Evil Village has been completely dethroned. Resident Evil Village fell to #2 in the top 40, while Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles …
Resident Evil Village has ended New Pokémon Snap’s short run at no.1. GI.biz has crunched the numbers, revealing that Capcom’s horror adventure is the second fastest-selling game of 2021 so far, trailing behind Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. It was also the third biggest PS5 launch since the console debuted, and the second …
New Pokémon Snap is the UK’s no.1, fighting off competition from Sony’s PS5 exclusive Returnal. This isn’t much of a surprise given the size of the Switch userbase, and the fact that Returnal is a new (and unproven) IP arriving at £70. GI.biz reports New Pokémon Snap had a stronger first week than 2020’s Pokémon …
