News UK Sales Charts: Death Stranding Falls Out of the Top 10 as Call of Duty Reclaims Its Crown
Losing balance
Death Stranding has slipped and taken a tumble down the physical UK chart. Having already fallen from second to eighth last week, the unique PlayStation 4 adventure from Hideo Kojima now finds itself at number 13. New release Shenmue III doesn't exactly get in its way, either, debuting in 17th place. The top 10 is instead dominated...
News UK Sales Charts: Star Wars and Pokémon See Death Stranding Take a Tumble
Off balance
It's a turbulent week within the UK's physical video games chart. With some of 2019's last big titles making their debut, the latest top 10 is quite different from the week prior, largely thanks to the arrival of two major franchises. Of course, Pokémon Sword and Shield have a dominant presence, accounting for first and third...
News October 2019 NPD: The Outer Worlds Stuns as Modern Warfare Expectedly Explodes
Obsidian's RPG in at second
There were reports that The Outer Worlds was off to a particularly strong start, but few could have expected the Obsidian developed role-playing game to sell quite this well: it’s finished second in the October 2019 NPD report for software sales in the United States. Only the might of
News UK Sales Charts: Days Gone Is the Only New IP Bigger Than Death Stranding in 2019
Call of Duty still top of the chart
Death Stranding arrived on Friday 8th November 2019, and it seems it's been a success at retail in its first weekend on sale. It's the second largest new IP this year, coming in right behind another Sony-published game, Days Gone. While it's clearly selling well, it didn't quite manage to beat the juggernaut that...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts Concrete Genie Missing As Call of Duty Shoots to the Top
Top gun
There were quite a few new releases in October -- so many, in fact, that it almost doesn't feel like Concrete Genie and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare released in the same month. The painterly PlayStation 4 exclusive arrived several weeks before Infinity Ward's reboot, but it's sadly nowhere to be found on the PlayStation Store charts for...
News UK Sales Charts: MediEvil Clings to the Top 10 as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reigns Supreme
Oorah
Our undead hero Sir Daniel Fortesque isn't doing too badly for a clumsy skeleton, but the MediEvil remake is starting to slip from the UK physical chart. The PlayStation 4 revival is down from number five to number 10 this week, with sales down 64 per cent according to GamesIndustry. There are a number of movers and shakers in this chart;...
News UK Sales Charts: Concrete Genie Nowhere to Be Seen as New Releases Struggle Against FIFA 20
Big and beautiful
Update: The chart below has been updated based on new information from UKIE. Original Story: We're afraid the UK is rather unimaginative when it comes to buying video games -- especially when the new footie game from EA is out. The latest physical chart sees FIFA 20 once again in the top spot, and it's maintained this position...
News September 2019 NPD: 2K Games on Top As Industry Declines Continue
Code Vein somehow makes top ten
2K Games’ double-billing of NBA 2K20 and Borderlands 3 jumped to the top of the USA sales charts for September, as industry spend continued to sink year-over-year due to dwindling hardware numbers. Total industry spend topped out at $1.278 billion – down eight per cent compared to the same month last year. FIFA 20...
News UK Sales Charts: Concrete Genie's Wishes Dashed As PS4 Exclusive Flops in Shops
FIFA 20 scores a hat-trick
If you were hoping last week's new releases were going to shake things up in the UK's bestsellers, you're flat out of luck. FIFA 20 is still very much in prime position, landing a third consecutive number one. Ghost Recon: Breakpoint also lands a consistent result with another second place finish. GRID is the only new...
News UK Sales Charts: Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Can't Break FIFA 20's Winning Streak
Go sports team
FIFA 20 is out, and as always, the franchise reigns supreme in the UK chart. It's at number one for the second time, despite a major new release from Ubisoft. Ghost Recon: Breakpoint has had to settle for a second place debut, although we expect this game to stick around for a bit. Its predecessor went on to sell very well, so it's...
News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 20 Surprises No One with Number One Debut
Life goals
Well, this is a big surprise. One of the UK's favourite franchises is FIFA, and the latest entry has once again done the numbers for EA. FIFA 20 debuts at number one despite a decline in physical sales -- but let's not forget that digital is making an increasingly large dent on retail figures. Other new releases didn't fare quite so...
News UK Sales Charts: Borderlands 3 Shifts Down to Make Way for Link's Awakening
Less loot for the Gearbox shooter this week
New releases are starting to come thick and fast, and while those on PlayStation 4 didn't make much of a dent, it's a different story for Nintendo. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening takes number one in the latest physical chart, forcing Borderlands 3 down into second place. As we mentioned, PS4's new...
News UK Sales Charts: Borderlands 3 Loots the Biggest Physical Launch of 2019
Score
The end-of-year releases are starting to arrive, and that's very much evident in the latest physical UK chart. As you might expect, Borderlands 3 comes in at the very top, but it's done more than just reach number one. Geabox's looter shooter managed the UK's largest launch at retail in 2019, topping Days Gone's impressive figures. It beats...
News August 2019 NPD: Game Sales Sink to 20 Year Low as Control Misses Out
Madden still on top
Game sales sank to a 20-year low in August 2019 in the United States, with overall consumer spend falling 18 per cent year-over-year. All sectors registered declines, with Nintendo Switch once again dominating the hardware charts. The performance was so poor across the board last month that it’s actually dragged down the entire...
News UK Sales Charts: NBA 2K20 Slam Dunks a Number One Debut
Ballin'
We're starting to see change in the UK's physical game chart. After a pretty barren summer, the new releases are beginning to shake things up. For example, NBA 2K20 has made its mark, scoring a number one in its first week. Meanwhile, Catherine: Full Body manages a top 10 debut in ninth. Last week's quartet of new titles has dispersed;...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts Madden and Grand Theft Auto V Were August's Top Downloads
No surprises here
August wasn't the greatest month for new releases, and that's reflected in the PlayStation Store charts. Aside from a handful of decent games in the last few days, last month was extremely quiet. This means some evergreen favourites ruled supreme. Grand Theft Auto V took number one in Europe, while it was Madden NFL 20 that took...
News UK Sales Charts: Wreckfest Can't Catch Up with Astral Chain to Claim Number One
New releases duke it out
The summer games drought is over, everyone. After weeks of almost no activity in the UK's physical chart, several notable titles drop all at once. Surprise surprise, they're all right at the top, with Nintendo's Astral Chain taking first place. It had its work cut out, though, with Wreckfest, Man of Medan, and Control also...
News UK Sales Charts: Crash Team Racing Drops Down to Third in Another Quiet Week for PS4
Crash and burn
Nintendo has once again rained on Crash Bandicoot's parade. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled has been pushed back to third place as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe boosts to the front of the pack in the latest physical chart. It's a quiet week yet again for PlayStation 4 software. Mortal Kombat 11 has made a giant leap up the chart from 40th to...
News UK Sales Charts: Not Even Microtransactions Can Prompt Crash Team Racing to Take a Pitstop
Out in front
Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled may currently be on the naughty step following its inclusion of controversial microtransactions, but that hasn’t stopped the remastered racer from lapping the competition, where it’s enjoyed a second consecutive week at the summit of the UK sales charts. In truth this was a largely uneventful month,...
News July 2019 NPD: Madden NFL 20 Enters the Red Zone
Slow month for Sony overall
Console hardware sales were down 22 per cent year-over-year in July 2019, as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One continue to grow a little long in the tooth. Sony’s pricing stubbornness has allowed the Nintendo Switch to comfortably top the console charts, which is the only system to experience growth so far this year. It...
News UK Sales Charts: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Reclaims Number One Despite Sales Decline
Coasting
You know it's a slow week in game sales when the title atop the chart is down 14 per cent. Nonetheless, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled has pulled ahead, and takes number one once again. A lack of new releases means the chart may look familiar if you've been keeping tabs on it each week. F1 2019 and Red Dead Redemption 2 climbed back into...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto V Battle for First Place
Clash of the titans
The staying power of games like Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto V is incredibly impressive. These two juggernauts are always among the most popular games on PlayStation Store, but for the month of July, they made the most of a quiet release schedule. In North America, the blocky craft-em-up takes the top spot, while Rockstar's...
News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 19 and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Can't Topple Fire Emblem
A bold strategy, Cotton
Fire Emblem: Three Houses rules the roost in its second week in the latest physical UK chart, and it's fending off some stiff competition. FIFA 19 is up to number two following store promotions, while Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled keeps a steady pace, crossing the line in third place for another week. Madden NFL 20 debuts...
News UK Sales Charts: Wolfenstein: Youngblood Settles for Second as Nintendo Strikes Again
Did Nazi that coming
We're not sure what kind of strategic manoeuvre Nintendo has pulled off, but it's worked well for Fire Emblem: Three Houses, which takes number one in the physical UK chart. It means that Bethesda's major new release, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, has had to make do with second place. Facing this new competition, Crash Team Racing...
News UK Sales Charts: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Back at Number One After Amazon Prime Day
Price crash
The UK physical chart is a little late this week, but it's at least seen some interesting changes thanks to Amazon's Prime Day offers. Everyone's favourite bandicoot is back atop the chart with Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, fending off fierce competition from a couple of Nintendo Switch exclusives. Perhaps more interesting is the...
News June 2019 NPD: Days of Play Does the Business for PS4
Massive increase for PS4 exclusives
Sony’s annual Days of Play promotion has become a big part of the PlayStation calendar, with a surprising number of exclusive titles making the June 2019 NPD software best-sellers list. Discounted favourites such as Marvel’s Spider-Man, Days Gone, MLB The Show 19, and God of War all made the month’s Top 20...
Another quiet week
The latest physical UK games chart will look pretty familiar if you saw last week's. With very few changes to the top 10, it's clear most Brits are enjoying the sunshine. According to GamesIndustry.biz, only 148,107 boxed games were sold in total, and selling 2,500 copies would get you into the top 10. An extremely quiet week for...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Is Top in Europe
But not even on the podium in the US
When it comes to games released in June, the first one that springs to mind is Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Activision's kart racing remake has proven to be very popular, but it seems that North America is less interested in the bandicoot's latest -- at least on the PlayStation Store, anyway. The game was...
News UK Sales Charts: Nintendo Dominates in a Quiet Week for PS4
CTR still on the podium
There might be a few multiplatform games in the UK's latest top 10, but Nintendo has undeniably taken it this week. The company has four exclusives among the bestsellers, and that's of course including Super Mario Maker 2, which is number one for a second week. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is the best performing...
News UK Sales Charts: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Almost Makes Number One in Second Week
But Mario gets the jump
Last week's chart saw Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled get off to a flying start. It debuted at number one with the third largest launch of the year, but a major Nintendo release has prevented it from coming in first in its second week on sale. Super Mario Maker 2 drops a Nitro crate in front of the kart racing remake, and so...
News UK Sales Charts: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Leads the Pack
Third biggest launch of the year
As if there was any doubt, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled boost-chained its way to a number one debut in the latest physical UK chart. According to GamesIndustry, it now holds the second highest launch week sales for the franchise -- the first being Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Furthermore, it's behind only Days...
News UK Sales Charts: Days of Play Keeps FIFA 19 Ahead of the Pack
Deal or no deal
Sony's Days of Play sale, which comes to an end today, has once again shaped the physical UK chart. With heavy price promotions carrying over nearly two weeks, the top three games remain the same, while the rest of the top 10 sees a bit of movement. FIFA 19 keeps hold of first place, while PlayStation 4 exclusives Days Gone and...
News UK Digital Charts: Blood & Truth Third for Downloads, But First Overall
GTA V number one on digital
The digital charts sure do throw out some interesting curve balls. The latest results, which relate to the week ending 1st June 2019, have some astronomical leaps up the charts from games on sale. This is only the second time we've seen the digital chart for the UK, but it's proving to be far more unpredictable than the...

Spider-Man swings back into the chart
In case you haven't been paying attention, the huge Days of Play sale from Sony has gotten underway recently, and as expected, it's playing havoc with the physical UK chart. FIFA 19 takes the top spot in a competitive top 10, which also sees the return of a couple of PlayStation exclusives. Days Gone jumps up...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts Minecraft Digs Up a Unanimous Victory
Taking things up a Notch
Of all the games to top the PlayStation Store download charts last month, we wouldn't have predicted Minecraft. The ever popular build-em-up has been available on PS4 for nearly five years, so why has it topped both the North American and European charts? Well, the game was recently updated with a bunch of new items, so...
News The First Digital Games UK Chart Is Finally Here, and It's Very Different

Would you Adam and Eve it

According to GamesIndustry, it's the first VR-only game to achieve this feat, likely thanks to a combination of strong marketing and...
News UK Sales Charts: Team Sonic Racing Is First Across the Line
Nice work, team
New, notable game releases are thin on the ground at the moment, but every now and again something big comes along to change up the UK chart. Last week, RAGE 2 toppled Days Gone from the top spot, but Bethesda's open world shooter has in turn been overtaken by co-op racer Team Sonic Racing. Sumo Digital's third kart racing title...
News April 2019 NPD: Days Gone Lands Huge Launch, But Can't Lay a Glove on MK11
MLB The Show 19 still hitting home runs
Days Gone secured the seventh biggest Sony-published debut in US history, but still couldn’t stop the Mortal Kombat 11 juggernaut, which topped the respective sales charts for all four formats it released on. According to NPD data, the brutal brawler is already the second best-selling title of 2019 in...
News UK Sales Charts: RAGE 2 Knocks Days Gone Off Its Number One Perch
All the rage?
It took three weeks, but a new game has ended Days Gone's stint at number one in the UK physical chart. RAGE 2 debuts in the top spot, meaning Sony's successful open world survival game has to settle for second place this time. According to GamesIndustry, though, it's not quite as rosy a result as it
News UK Sales Charts: Days Gone Is Number One for Third Week Running
Escaping the horde
Sony must be pretty pleased with the sales performance of Days Gone. Bend Studio's survival horror open world appears to have resonated well with a lot of PlayStation 4 fans, as it's doing well in various territories. In the UK, it's now topped the weekly physical chart for the third time in a row. In fact, it's not the only game...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts Days Gone and Mortal Kombat 11 Duke It Out for the Top Spot
Freakers vs fatalities
April saw the arrival of a few large game releases on PlayStation 4, including a brand new exclusive title in Days Gone. Bend Studio's Freaker-infested open world has been performing well in terms of sales, but how about on PlayStation Store? The blogs for North America and Europe have been updated with digital sales...
News UK Sales Charts: Days Gone Retains Top Spot for Second Week
Boozer Britain
Days Gone has retained its position at the top of the UK sales charts for a second successive week, following a not too dramatic 60 per cent drop in sales week-over-week. Mortal Kombat 11's numbers dipped by a more substantial 74 per cent, so the first-party exclusive remained at the summit of the best sellers list. Elsewhere, the...
News UK Sales Charts: Days Gone Rides Past Mortal Kombat 11 to Claim the Top Spot
Freaking out
Last week saw the release of Mortal Kombat 11, a highly anticipated sequel in a long-running franchise, and Days Gone, a PS4 exclusive new IP. Of the two, you'd think the former would have the better launch in terms of sales, but it's actually Bend Studio's Freaker infested open world that takes number one -- in the UK chart, at least...
News March 2019 NPD: MLB The Show 19 Sets a Genre Sales Record
The Division 2, Sekiro start strong
It was a March 2019 of hardware dominance in the United States for the Nintendo Switch, as the ageing PlayStation 4 and Xbox One continue their natural downturn ahead of the new generation. Overall industry spend for the month was down 11 per cent year-over-year, with hardware seeing the most significant decline...
News UK Sales Charts: World War Z Fends Off Zombies from the Top Spot
You've got red on you
The Division 2 has been knocked off its perch atop the physical UK chart by World War Z, the zombie shooter from Focus Home Interactive. It's a very strong debut for the publisher, which last enjoyed a number one result with Vampyr. Ubisoft's looter shooter didn't fall too far, though -- it's now in third behind FIFA 19, which...
News UK Sales Charts: The Division 2 Remains on Top in Another Quiet Week
No new releases enter the top 10
It's been another slow week in terms of new releases, which means all our usual favourites are still trading places in the UK physical chart. The Division 2 is firmly rooted at number one, with FIFA 19 scoring another second place. Red Dead Redemption 2 has climbed back onto the podium in third, while Grand Theft...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts The Division 2 Shoots to the Top
Gun game
The monthly PlayStation Store charts for March are out, and it's no surprise to see The Division 2 take the number one spot in both Europe and North America. Ubisoft's looter shooter was always going to be popular, so a win for the digital version was expected. It beats both
News UK Sales Charts: The Division 2 Is Back at Number One in Slow Week
Nothing to see here
In an uneventful week in the gaming release schedule, the physical UK chart hasn't changed all that much. With a lack of new releases, there hasn't been much of an impact on the best sellers. Ubisoft's The Division 2 is back at the top, while Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice slips down to fifth. The bottom end of the top 10 sees the...
