The UK retail chart sees four new entries within the top ten

The PSVR2 launched last week, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at this week’s retail chart – the only occurrence is Gran Turismo 7 re-entering at #24, off the back of the free VR update. It would seem that the majority of physical releases for PSVR2 titles...

Theatrhythm, Tales of Symphonia Remastered, Wild Hearts, and Wanted: Dead enter the UK charts

The UK retail charts have been freshly issued, revealing four of last week’s new retail releases managed to enter the top 40. None, however, were able debut within the top ten. Square-Enix’s well-received Theatrhythm Final Bar Line was the highest charting, making #16 in the all formats chart,...

Hogwarts Legacy is the UK’s new no.1, outperforming Elden Ring’s launch week sales

Warner Bros’ controversial Harry Potter spin-off Hogwarts Legacy is the UK’s new no.1 in the physical retail chart. This doesn’t come as a huge surprise following reports of substantial pre-order figures. What is a surprise, however, is just how well it has performed. GI.biz crunched the numbers, revealing...

SpongeBob: The Cosmic Shake enters UK top ten while Forspoken and Fire Emblem depart

If this week’s UK physical retail charts are to go by, THQ Nordic’s SpongeBob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake can be considered a success. The comical action platformer entered at #2 in both the PS4 and Xbox One charts, and #13 in the Switch top twenty. It also took...

Dead Space and Forspoken enter the UK top ten

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. Square-Enix’s Forspoken – which arrived to some middling reviews – took #4 in the all...

Fire Emblem Engage tops the UK chart while The Last of Us returns to #20

Nintendo’s Fire Emblem Engage has become the first new no.1 of 2023. GI.biz reports that launch sales were the second biggest in the series for the UK, falling behind 2019’s Fire Emblem Three Houses by some 31%. As we predicted last week, The Last of Us has returned...

The UK charts see three new arrivals, plus surprise re-entries

We didn’t expect this week’s UK retail charts to be quite so eventful, for want of a better description. Anime tie-in One Piece Odyssey managed to enter at #14 in the all formats top 40, while also arriving at #4 in the PS5 chart, #5 in the Xbox...

God of War: Ragnarok holds onto UK no.1 while NSMB.U Deluxe re-enters at #10

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...

God of War: Ragnarok is the UK’s no.1 again

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,...

UK top ten remains mostly frozen, while Core Crisis plummets to #30

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...

FIFA 23 is the UK’s Christmas no.1

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:...

Cuphead and Hello Neighbour 2 enter the UK chart

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...
