Last week's biggest new release was Back 4 Blood, a new co-op zombie-'em-up from the creators of Left 4 Dead. Turtle Rock is clearly a fan of the number four, so the studio will be pleased to see its new game has debuted in the perfect spot on the UK's physical chart: fourth. It faced stiff competition with FIFA 22, Far Cry 6, and Nintendo exclusive Metroid Dread making up the top three, so we'd say that's a good result.
Elsewhere, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales swings back into the top 10, making a leap from 14th all the way up into sixth place. There was a similar surge for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which didn't chart at all last week but is now in 12th. We can probably attribute both boosts to more PS5 stock coming into UK retail. If the anime fans among you are wondering, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles just missed out on a top 10 debut, placing 11th underneath the absolute behemoth that is GTA 5.
Here's the latest top 10 in full.

Back4Blood definitely seems like a wait for a sale type of game
@UltimateOtaku91 yes, but maybe servers would be too quiet then?
@kris0000 if its cross play then I'm sure gamepass would keep it alive, but I'm 99% sure it will be heavily discounted before Christmas, maybe black friday
But I thought people were 'sick and tired of zombie games'?
Sony strike gold with miles morales, maybe after spider-man 2 they should make 10-12 hours stand alone game with venom 😃
GTA V is there again? sheesh can that game just oh Idk just disappear perhaps?
I've actually been replaying Miles Morales this week with my eldest. It's so good
@lolwhatno I love to do melee only its more viable than only using it in left 4 fead 1 and 2
@lolwhatno. No a lot of them are hypocrites.they say they are.but they always buy those games.word up son
@wiiware I'm hoping that Venom is part of the team in SM2
No love for returnal 😔. Definitely my game of year so far. Played a bit of back 4 blood with my m8 on gamepass it's good fun, nothing amazing but fun, although sometimes the hordes are nuts lol.
@lolwhatno not really. Just because GTA is selling well, it doesn't mean that everyone is getting it, including people who are tired of seeing it ruling the charts or those who simply don't like the game.
People love to throw around the word "hypocrite" without proper evidence to substantiate their claim.
@lolwhatno melee builds are pretty epic use stamina cards coupled with the 2 health points per hit perk and it can turn you into a slaying machine and it can also mean the difference between life and death.
@Kopite I hope so, but I think spider-man 2 will be peter/miles game (with online coop mode). It will be super cool if we can choose between peter/miles/venom in the game though
Great for FarCry6. Had another great weekend playing it. Still Tons of fun Co-Op after 21+ hrs in
It also runs amazing on GeforceNOW. Playing it as my handheld game to play the treasure hunts and side stuff.
Miles Morales is a must play. I hope Sony does the same magic with the other Marvel games.
Metroid Dread 100% deserves all of it's sales. It's a great game.
Do uk sales chart include digital sales data yet? or is it still physical only sales data?
@wiiware I'm hoping it's not forced co-op I personally don't think it would make it more fun, separate story's for Peter & Miles would be great with missions that cross over
@Kopite I think Venom will be a bad guy but I’m thinking Spider-Gwen will be added to the team in the new 1 kinda like Miles in the 1st. Just a little bit playable & then maybe get her own short adventure in between the numbered sequels
@wiiware please see my above reply to @Kopite 😂
@RubyCarbuncle Long after we're all gone the charts will still have Grand theft auto V and mario kart 8 deluxe in the top 10. It is prophecy.
@funkyflounder83 I'll give an answer anyways 😁 I got the feeling that Venom will be playable for 2 reasons he seems to be replying to the VO (who has to be Kraven The Hunter - not sure if its confirmed or not but it would be great to see him) and the way the trailer ended on Venom's logo the same way the first trailer's for Spidey and Miles ended on there's. Maybe I'm over thinking it but it would be great to have a proper brawler character in there to break up between Peter and Miles.
@Kopite I don’t disagree that it would be great to play as him, I just the way he’s been set up as Harry Osbourne over the last 2 games & it just seems maybe he’ll be a villain along with his Dad. I do believe the VO is Kraven as well though. I have no evidence that points to Gwen either I am just thinking how they introduced Miles so quickly & unexpectedly in the first that it could be done to build out a team with her in the next. Your theory does sound great as well, I just have too much time on my hands & my mind wandered. I also thought of Gwen because I preferred playing as Miles over Peter as well so wondered what she would be like.
@wiiware
I’m hoping that time with Venom is included in the SM2 game.
Edit
Sorry I didn’t see someone else said the same thing.
To expand I’d say I can see a big part of the story being focused on Venom
@funkyflounder83 I imagine she would play a lot like Miles maybe a little bit more acrobatic??
@Kopite tbh I only know her from the SpiderVerse movie a couple years ago. I think she has other things but I can’t think of them just now. I just thought it would be a natural progression based on what’s happened in the last games
@Kopite Something like resident evil 2 will be great too I think, peter and miles have their own story (scenario A & B) but after the ending peter can play miles story (with his power) and vice versa in a "what if" scenario.
@lolwhatno perhaps you're right. But my point about "hypocrites" stands.
@lolwhatno that was my point. R.I.P., reading comprehension.
