Animal Crossing: New Horizons is no longer the UK’s no.1, dropping down to #2. It’s doubtful Nintendo are the slightest bit concerned – their own Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition replaces it. The JRPG remaster apparently holds up incredibly well despite being almost ten years old. 2K Games’ Borderlands: Legendary Collection on Switch was the second-highest …
Finally, some fresh blood. The UK top ten sees two new arrivals this week, both published by Deep Silver. Open water shark RPG Maneater swam in at #6, while the surprisingly slick Saints Row The Third: Remastered took #7. Animal Crossing: New Horizons remained no.1, this week followed by another Switch exclusive – Mario Kart …
We may as well cut to the chase – not a great deal is going on in this week’s UK chart. Animal Crossing: New Horizons continues to keep FIFA 20 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare at bay, remaining top dog for a second week running. GTA V remains at #2 also, enjoying a sales …
The UK chart undergoes a slight shuffle this week, with no new entries to speak of. This isn’t a surprise – by our reckoning Construction Machines Simulator on Switch was last week’s sole retail release. It is a surprise to see SnowRunner leave the top 40 after just one week, however – we expected the …
Perhaps due to the absence of football on TV, EA’s FIFA 20 had no trouble reclaiming the UK chart top spot from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Nintendo’s island getaway packaged didn’t fall too far, now resting at #2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare held onto #3, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe raced to #4 – …
Thanks to Switch consoles being more readily available, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has managed to return to the top of the UK chart. This marks its first return since launch week. Ring Fit Adventure also catapulted to #4 due to replenished stock. Just Dance 2020, New Super Mario Bros. U, Pokemon Sword and Super Mario …
Final Fantasy VII Remake wasn’t able to hold the UK chart top spot for a second week running, giving way not to Call of Duty or even Animal Crossing, but rather FIFA 20. Animal Crossing: New Horizons did rise one position to claim #2, however. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare fell to #3, then at …
Square-Enix must be on cloud nine – Final Fantasy VII Remake is this week’s new UK no.1. GI.biz notes it had a better first week than Capcom’s Resident Evil 3 remake, selling double the amount of copies. FFVII’s launch sales were far lower than those of 2016’s Final Fantasy XV, however. This isn’t too surprising. …
Despite high street stores being closed, physical game sales remain strong in the UK. GI.biz reports 350k games were sold last week, resulting in a million game sales since lockdown began. As per the last couple of weeks, console pack-in titles are performing well, suggesting PS4 and Xbox One bundles are flying off store shelves. …
Due to reasons obvious, PS4 and Xbox One console sales have spiked in the UK. This has had an impact on the chart, which sees more activity than usual. It wasn’t a great week for Nintendo, however – Switch stock is so thin on the ground currently that software sales have dropped sharply. Mario Kart …
Even though supermarkets were limiting purchases of Animal Crossing: New Horizons to three per customer (hoo hoo!), the island getaway package has achieved great things. Not only is it the UK’s new no.1, tearing ahead of DOOM Eternal, but according to GI.biz it’s also the fastest-selling Switch game so far. Well, the best singular game …
PS4 exclusive Nioh 2 had a successful launch, debuting at no.1 in the UK chart – something the 2017 original wasn’t able to achieve despite also launching at a quiet time of year. Both Ori and the Will of the Wisps and My Hero One’s Justice 2 had to settle for positions outside the top …
With a Metacritic of 68%, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX isn’t exactly the best Pokémon game there ever was. Nevertheless, it still managed to claim the UK chart top spot this week. Former no.1 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare drops to #2. GTA V rises to #3, FIFA 20 falls to #4 and then …
Theme Hospital spiritual successor Two Point Hospital enters the UK chart at #2 this week, with the Switch version proving the most popular. Hopefully it has more staying power than SEGA’s recent releases – both Yakuza Remastered Collection and the Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle left the top 40 after just one week on …
Half-term has given the UK chart a slight shuffle, most notably ushering Team Sonic Racing – which has seen promotional activity thanks to the Sonic movie – back into the chart at #7. SEGA’s Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle was also the best selling new release of last week, debuting at #10. Crytek’s well-received …
