FIFA 23 is the UK’s new no.1, unsurprisingly

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...

Stray climbs the all-formats chart high, while also claiming no.1 in the PS5 chart

Splatoon 3 is the UK’s no.1 for a second week

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....

How’s about splat? Splatoon 3 is the UK chart’s new no.1

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...

The UK chart sees five new arrivals, including The Last of Us: Part 1 at no.1

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...

Saints Row tops the UK chart while Soul Hackers 2 makes a strong showing

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...

Horizon Forbidden West returns to no.1 while Xenoblade Chronicles 3 falls to #10

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...

UK top ten sees three new arrivals, including Xenoblade Chronicles 3 at no.1

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...
