News UK Sales Charts: F1 2020 Races Past The Last of Us 2 for Pole Position
Victory lap
It was going to happen sooner or later -- The Last of Us: Part II has been booted off the top spot in the UK's physical chart. After three weeks at number one, the Naughty Dog title is now in third place. Racing sim F1 2020 takes its place on top of the podium. Elsewhere, Marvel's Iron Man VR is still just about in the top 10; it's...
News UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us 2 Remains Number One Despite Heroic Debut for Iron Man VR
Top (naughty) dog
You probably don't need us to tell you this, but The Last of Us: Part II is selling extremely well. Last week, the game outsold the rest of the UK top 10 combined, and it sold through 4 million copies in its opening weekend. It should come as no surprise to learn it remains atop the UK physical chart, then. However, perhaps more...
News The Last of Us 2 Outsells the Entire UK Top 10 Combined in June
Sales juggernaut
The Last of Us: Part II is the fastest-selling PlayStation 4 exclusive ever with more than four million copies shipped to players around the world in just three days. That incredibly impressive statistic will have only risen in the near two weeks since, but here's another phenomenal fact for you. Naughty Dog's latest masterpiece
News UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us Remastered Returns Amid Sequel's Success
We really are The Last of Us
Not one but two The Last of Us titles cracked the UK sales charts this week, as The Last of Us Remastered rebounded on the back of its PlayStation 4 successor’s record-breaking success. Joel and Ellie’s inaugural adventure saw an 82 per cent rise in week-on-week sales in order to secure 9th place, while the sequel...
News UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us 2 Is Sony's Fastest Selling PS4 Game Ever in the UK
40 per cent higher than Animal Crossing
Its user score may be in tatters over on Metacritic, but as many predicted, the outcry against The Last of Us: Part II has done little to stop the game from becoming an immediate sales success for Sony. In the UK, Naughty Dog's sequel has rocketed to the top of the software charts following its launch last...
News UK Sales Charts: The Usual Suspects Return to Top 10 in Barren PS4 Week
Just three PS4 games
Sony's physical Days of Play promotion is over and done with, meaning that the latest UK sales chart is seriously lacking in PlayStation 4 titles. There are just three games to speak of that are available on a Sony system as Nintendo Switch games all but dominate the top 10. FIFA 20 has lost the top spot as it slips down to...
News UK Sales Charts: Days of Play Promotion Boosts PS4 Exclusives Once Again
One final push
Sony's Days of Play sale is coming to an end today in the UK, but its impact on the charts is noticeable. As with last week, the latest physical chart sees a dramatic boost in sales for PlayStation 4 exclusives. Days Gone has fallen back to 11th, but The Last of Us Remastered has moved up a spot into eighth. Marvel's Spider-Man also...
News UK Sales Charts: Days of Play Sale Brings PS4 Exclusives Back to Top 10
Outrunning the horde
What a difference a sale makes. Sony's annual Days of Play sale hit the UK last week, and numerous PlayStation 4 titles have shot back up the chart. Three PS4 exclusives have made it into the top 10, with even more slightly lower down. Days Gone sees the biggest bump, re-entering at number six, while The Last of Us Remastered...
Deal PS Plus and PS Now Memberships Going Cheap in Days of Play UK Offers
That's a plus
Days of Play kicks off in the UK and Europe starting today, and we're seeing some amazing deals on PlayStation Plus and PS Now memberships. A few UK stores are competing for your cash with heavy discounts on PS4's subscription services, and we've gathered them all up for you here. There's a clear winner, though; while Amazon and GAME...
News UK Sales Charts: Maneater and Saints Row The Third Remastered Bring Dumb Fun to the Top 10
This one's got bite
After what has been an incredibly stagnant top 10 list for the past couple of weeks, two new PlayStation 4 titles have finally given us an interesting talking point in the UK sales charts. Sure, mainstays such as Grand Theft Auto V and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order are still part of the list, but today we welcome Maneater and...
News UK Sales Charts: Grand Theft Auto V Still the Bestselling PS4 Game in a Stagnant Top 10
Spot the difference
The physical UK games chart has very nearly come to a complete standstill. The latest sales positions are almost identical to last week's, with only one or two minor changes to the top 10. In terms of PlayStation 4 titles, it's Grand Theft Auto V that's doing the best, maintaining its spot in second place despite its age...
News UK Sales Charts: Final Fantasy VII Remake Leaves the Top 10 as GTA V Gains Ground
Still got it
The world has ground to a halt, and so too has the physical UK games chart. There's sadly not much to report this week, as new releases have dried up and we're left with the usual suspects. In fact, a game that's been in the top 10 nearly every week for many years, Grand Theft Auto V, is very nearly back at the very top. It's in second...
News The Last of Us 2 Limited Steelbook Edition Available to Pre-Order Now
Currently just Amazon UK, mind
With a release date for The Last of Us: Part II finally locked into place, the marketing machine can whir back to life. Naughty Dog's upcoming sequel is just weeks away, launching on 19th June, and digital pre-orders are back on PlayStation Store. However, Sony is also promoting a new physical version of the PS4...
News UK Sales Charts: SnowRunner Faces Uphill Battle Against an Immovable Top 10
Slow and steady
More than usual, the physical UK chart is noticeably stagnant. This should come as no surprise, of course, but it makes it a tough subject to talk about as each week passes with little change. With many games pushed back and brick and mortar game shops closed, this was bound to happen. SnowRunner, a decent offroad haulage simulator,...
News UK Sales Charts: Resident Evil 3 Falls Out of Top 10 in a Slow Week for PS4
Musical chairs
The latest physical UK chart is here, and if we swapped it out for last week's, no one would notice. Nine out of the top 10 games once again make an appearance among the bestsellers, with the exception of Resident Evil 3. Capcom's latest remake has slipped from eighth to 17th. Replacing it is Red Dead Redemption 2, which has been on...
News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty Kicks Final Fantasy VII Remake Off the Podium
At ease, soldier
It was hardly a surprise, but Final Fantasy VII Remake dominated the physical UK chart last week. With new releases slowing down, we were expecting it to top the latest chart as well, but alas, it's been bested by some old favourites. FIFA 20 takes the top spot this time, while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is in third place, meaning...
News Grab a PlayStation Now Subscription with This 25% Discount
A year of games
As the PlayStation 4 release schedule begins to slow down due to the Coronavirus pandemic, a lot of you will be turning to your backlogs for some video game entertainment. However, what if you've got so much time on your hands that you don't actually have one in the first place? That's where a PlayStation Now subscription comes into...
News UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us Remastered Makes Surprise Return to the Top 10
Post-apocalypse comeback
A number of new PlayStation 4 releases have brought a welcome shake-up to the UK sales charts over the past couple of weeks. However, the surprise this time around is the unexpected return of one of the console's best exclusives. The Last of Us Remastered has reentered the top 10, climbing seven places while Final Fantasy...
News Final Fantasy VII Remake Fares Admirably at UK Retail Amid Coronavirus Crisis
Half of Final Fantasy XV's physical first week
Final Fantasy VII Remake sold half as many physical copies as Final Fantasy XV during its first week on sale in the UK, but that’s an incredibly impressive result when you consider the vast majority of retail stores are closed at the moment. You’ve also got to factor the fact that Final Fantasy XV...
News EGX Returns to ExCeL London This September
UK convention going forward as usual
EGX is the UK's largest video game event, so it would be a pretty big blow if it missed out due to the coronavirus pandemic. Fortunately, organisers Gamer Network and ReedPOP have announced 2020's exhibition will be going ahead. It's been confirmed that EGX will take place between 17th and 20th September 2020 in...
News UK Sales Charts: Resident Evil 3 Makes Call of Duty Its Nemesis in Fight for Number One
But you can't stop Nemesis
Last week saw the arrival of Resident Evil 3, and it seems the UK managed to grab its fair share of physical copies despite the coronavirus lockdown. Capcom's latest remake secures a second place debut, not quite toppling the almighty Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. However, it did knock FIFA 20 down a peg. It's not the...
News Official PlayStation Magazine Is the UK's Last Licensed Publication
OXM and ONM now gone
If magazines were a battle royale, then Official PlayStation Magazine would be feasting on roast chicken for its tea. Official Xbox Magazine sadly shut last week, meaning that OPM is the last remaining licensed publication in UK newsagents. There was a time when shelves were filled with gaming mags, but now only EDGE, Retro...
News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty Creates a Warzone with DOOM Eternal for Shooter Supremacy
Bang bang
The latest UK chart is in, and we're back to a relative norm. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is back atop the all formats chart, and we can probably attribute part of that resurgence to Warzone, the free-to-play add-on that now comes with every copy. Meanwhile, DOOM Eternal, which saw a strong second place debut last week, moves down a...
News UK Sales Charts: DOOM Eternal Secures Second Place Amid Huge Surge in Demand for Games
Coronavirus prompts spike in game sales
It's an extremely turbulent time right now, as fears surrounding coronavirus see businesses shutting up shop, employees working from home, and streets clearing as people are forced to stay indoors. It would be insensitive to make light of the situation, of course, but one interesting side effect of all this is...
News Pick Up DOOM Eternal Early from UK GAME Stores
Hell yeah
DOOM Eternal is the best first-person shooter on the PlayStation 4, and you could be playing it as early as tomorrow morning. Despite not being scheduled to release until 20th March, it looks like GAME has been given the go-ahead to sell copies starting 18th March. The York branch was the first to confirm the early release date, but others...
News UK Sales Charts: Nioh 2 on PS4 Slays with Number One Debut at Retail
Monster sales
Finally, a new release on PlayStation 4 has made an impact on the UK's physical chart. Nioh 2, Team Ninja's Souls-esque sequel, arrived last week, and has defeated a number of huge foes to debut in first place. It's a good result for the PS4 exclusive in an unusual week for games at retail. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and FIFA 20 are...
News UK Sales Charts: The Usual Suspects Remain as the Country Sleeps on Dreams
Pun intended
The physical UK chart feels like it's been pretty much the same for months now. This is partly down to a lack of notable new PlayStation 4 releases, of course, but it's a little difficult to drum up things to say each week when the same handful of games are perpetually the country's top sellers. This week, Nintendo secures a successful...
News UK Sales Charts: Dreams Declines While Two Point Hospital Gets a Very Healthy Start
NH Yes
Here's something we weren't expecting to see this morning. In a retail chart otherwise filled with the typical popular titles, Two Point Hospital gets off to a great start, coming in just behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for a second place debut. It's a pleasant surprise to see a relatively small game do so well in the shops. We're not...
News UK Sales Charts: Dreams Flies Low as Bayonetta and Vanquish Breach Top 10
Bad dream
We all knew it would probably happen -- Dreams has been a critical success, but commercial success appears to be much tougher for it. After debuting at number eight in last week's physical UK chart, the latest bestsellers list puts Media Molecule's masterpiece at number 15. It's not quite as bad as it sounds, though. The decrease in sales...
News Grand Theft Auto V Was the UK's Best Selling Game in January 2020
What else did you expect?
Let's not beat around the bush: January 2020 was an incredibly quiet month for video games. So quiet, in fact, that a release from 2013 ended up being the best selling title of the month here in the UK. We are, of course, referring to Grand Theft Auto V, a game which manages to appear on the UK sales charts week in, week...
News UK Sales Charts: Yakuza in Dreams Land As PS4 Exclusives Start Strong
Two new PS4 titles in top ten
If you’ve been following the Yakuza franchise since the dark days when Sony had to step in and localise Yakuza 5 on SEGA’s behalf, then it’s probably refreshing to see a trio of Ryu ga Gotoku re-releases near the top of the UK charts. Yakuza Remastered Collection was actually the biggest new physical launch in...
News UK Sales Charts: Zombie Army 4 Lurches Into the Top 10 as Dragon Ball Crashes to Earth
Not much else to see, though
Another week, another physical UK chart to yawn at. With a lack of new software, the spending habits of Brits have hardly changed for weeks. The latest top 10, however, does have a new entry. Zombie Army 4: Dead War from Rebellion makes a debut at number eight, and we suspect it will have done even better digitally...
News UK Sales Charts: Dragon Ball Z Takes a Tumble as Call of Duty Continues Winning Streak
Under 9,000
The physical game chart for the UK doesn't make for particularly inspiring reading, but hey, it seems we know what we like. With the absence of major releases, the latest chart is looking familiar as ever, with the usual suspects all swapping seats in the top 10. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is in first place once more, which is likely...
Deal Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Shoots Down to £35 in Limited Time Offer
Every little helps
Games are expensive, and something you're seeing more and more these days is heavy price cuts in the months after launch. Oftentimes it's better to wait and see if a game gets discounted in some sale. Case in point: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has just had its (captain) price cut in some UK retailers. Amazon UK has the Infinity...
Close to breaking top 10
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is currently enjoying an impressive revival off the back of the recent Netflix series. The highly rated role-playing title is almost five years old at this point, but age doesn't matter when people are going gaga for Geralt. Indeed, the latest UK sales charts give us a glimpse into just how popular...
News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty and Dragon Ball Z Duke It Out for First Place
Who came out on top?
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot got off to a flying start in UK retail last week, debuting in number one and knocking Call of Duty: Modern Warfare off its perch. Activision's ever-popular shooter has made a swift recovery, however, and has returned this week to reclaim the top spot once more. Goku's RPG still lands in second place,...
News UK Sales Charts: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Goes Super Saiyan with Number One Debut
Over 9,000
Dragon Ball Z has been around for a long time, but its enduring popularity remains extraordinary. Bandai Namco recently released a game that follows the story of this evergreen anime, named Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, and it seems Goku still has plenty of fans in the UK. A lot of them seem to own a PlayStation 4, too; Sony's platform...

Tekken a look at the bargains
We were more than ready to roll our eyes at yet another copy paste chart, but there are some interesting additions to the latest UK physical top 10. FIFA 20 scores a number one, while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order also swap seats on the podium. However, a little further down is when we...
News UK Sales Charts: WWE 2K20 Wrestles Its Way Back Into Familiar Top 10
Call of Duty still top
It's time to take a look at the first UK games chart for 2020, and it may give you a sense of déjà vu. The physical top 10 is largely unchanged since last week, and once again, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare resides in the number one spot. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and FIFA 20 have swapped places, meaning they still round...
News You'll Never Be Able to Guess the UK's Top Selling Games of the Decade
Sarcasm ends
Which games sold the most at retail in the 2010s? For the UK, it's a pretty unsurprising top 10, and you've probably guessed half of it correctly without even looking at the chart below. According to Ukie, the organisation that keeps track of UK sales charts, the last decade of physical game purchases have been largely dominated by,...
News UK Sales Charts: Nothing Can Knock Modern Warfare, FIFA 20, or Star Wars Off the Podium
2019's final chart is looking familiar
The year, and the decade, are almost over and done with, but we've got time to squeeze in one last physical UK chart. Unfortunately it isn't a particularly exciting result this time, with the top 10 largely the same as last week's. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, FIFA 20, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order continue...
News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Takes Christmas Number One
Juggernaut
To the surprise of absolutely no one, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is the UK's Christmas number one game. It's usually a toss-up between Activision's shooter franchise and the mighty FIFA, and 2019 is the turn of Captain Price and crew. FIFA 20 claims second, of course, while Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order remains a top seller in third...
News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty, Star Wars, and FIFA 20 Duke It Out at the Top
Clash of the titans
Next week will reveal which game takes the UK's Christmas number one, and it seems inevitable that one of the current top three will take it. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and FIFA 20 are first, second, and third respectively, and it sounds like there aren't many sales separating them right now...

CryBB
The physical UK chart is starting to settle into a groove. The latest results look like the members of the top 10 have all been playing musical chairs, and it's Marvel's Spider-Man that's been knocked out after a Black Friday resurgence. The bestsellers are about what you'd expect, it's just that most of them have swapped places. FIFA 20 is...

News PS4 Loses the Battle of Black Friday to Xbox One, Nintendo Switch in UK
System down 45 per cent year-over-year
Sony may have advertised the PlayStation 4 aggressively during Black Friday in the UK, but it’s the deals that do the talking, and the manufacturer simply couldn’t compete with the Xbox One S All-Digital being flogged for an eye-opening £109. According to Games Industry, it’s Microsoft who won this...
