Excelsior! With Spider-Man under Sony’s wing, the web-swinger has managed to achieve things Activision couldn’t. Not only is it the fastest selling Spider-Man game ever, but also the fastest selling Marvel game of all-time. Chart-Track also notes that it had the biggest launch – in terms of individual format sales – since the PS4 version …
Codemasters’ F1 2018 has managed to fend off all competition, remaining at no.1 for a second week running. More than a few big hitters were up against it, including PES 2019 which made #2. However, Chart-Track reports physical sales of Konami’s soccer sim were down 42% over last year. This may not entirely be down …
While sales of Codemasters’ F1 2018 were down over last years instalment, it has still sold well enough to take the UK chart top spot. This means Crash Bandicoot’s reign is now at an end – last week the box breaking marsupial celebrated an 8th week at no.1. Another new face enters at #2 – …
Just as the school holidays draw to a close, Activision’s Crash Bandicoot celebrates an 8th consecutive week at the top of the UK chart. They certainly picked the perfect launch date. Activision-Blizzard are also responsible for the rest of this week’s new entries – World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth at #3, and Overwatch: GOTY …
Despite the popularity of American football being on the rise in the UK, EA’s Madden NFL 19 enters the chart one position lower than last year. Making #5 in the UK top 40 is nothing to be ashamed of, however. In fact, it was the highest charting new release of last week. Team17’s freshly prepared …
Just one new title shows up in this week’s top 40 – the PS4/Switch release of Hello Neighbour at #16. Upon release, the Xbox One version only managed to make the lower echelons of the chart. This means it’s a no-show for THQ’s Titan Quest on Switch. The remastered RPG didn’t even break the Switch …
Out of all last week’s new releases, No Man’s Sky on Xbox One was the best performing. The belated conversion – published by 505 Games on Xbox – managed to make a respectable #12. Train Sim World was the second highest charting new release, making #20. Go Vacation on Switch wasn’t far behind at #23. …
We had an inkling Sonic Mania Plus would perform well in this week’s UK. Lo and behold – it’s in at #5, becoming the highest charting new release of the week. Not that it was up against much competition, mind. The PlayStation Hits re-release of The Last of Us: Remastered made #26, while the Amazon …
None of last week’s new releases could topple Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy, which remains the UK’s no.1 for a third consecutive week. LEGO The Incredibles settles for #2, with the PS4 version proving the most popular (followed by Xbox One and then Switch). At #3 it’s Square-Enix’s Octopath Traveler, which also had no trouble topping …
Even though it hit the digital stores a few weeks ago, Jurassic World: Evolution still managed to debut at #2 in the UK chart. Even more impressive is the fact that it’s #1 in the PS4 chart, toppling God of War. Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered – last week’s only other new release – wasn’t quite …
The belated Xbox One, Switch and PC versions of Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy have helped the box breaking looney re-claim no.1. This not only prevented the allegedly mediocre The Crew 2 from claiming the top spot – forcing it to take #2 – but also dislodged Mario Tennis Aces from the top of the chart. …
Despite not featuring a traditional tennis mode – an omission that has allegedly resulted in refund requests – Mario Tennis Aces has shot straight to the top of the UK chart. While this may sound impressive, chances are it only had to shift a few thousand copies to get there – physical sales tend to …
There’s a notable theme to this week’s UK top 40 – dozens of first-party PS4 titles have either risen by several places or re-entered the chart. This is all down to Sony’s current ‘Days of Play’ promotion, which sees numerous key titles discounted. It seems a price cut to around £35 was enough to secure …
Dontnod’s Vampyr has given long-running publisher Focus Interactive their first ever UK no.1. It’s also the third new IP to take the UK chart top spot, following Detroit: Become Human and Sea of Thieves. Speaking of new IP, it’s bad news for Codemasters – Onrush has debuted at a lowly #34, despite positive reviews. It’s …
Proving that retro gaming is more popular than ever, both SEGA Mega Drive Classics and Street Fighter 30th Anniversary managed to elbow their way into the UK top ten. SEGA’s collection made #5, while Capcom’s slightly better received compilation entered at #6. It’s FIFA 18 that dominates the top 40 this week, however, thanks to …
