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 likely this one will perform similarly.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered busted its way into the chart too, arriving at number six. That's it for new releases, and aside from Borderlands 3 in third, the rest of the top 10 is dominated by exclusives -- and not Sony's. Here's hoping that Concrete Genie can make a dent.
Here's the latest top 10.
UK Sales Charts: Week Ending 5th October, 2019
- FIFA 20
- Ghost Recon: Breakpoint
- Borderlands 3
- Gears 5
- The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
- Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered

- Sea of Thieves
- Minecraft: Xbox Edition

@PhantomXIII Just goes to show that gamers really aren’t the majority out there. Oh well, it’ll probably make that.. certain group of them act more superior.
Xbox looking strong, holding spot #4 and #8, 9, and 10. That’s a surprise.
Should've shown a City v Wolves screenshot with a 0-2 on the scoreboard.
There's no sign of GTAV for the second week running... is it dead? Is it finally dead?!
Also, I kinda like this chart. PS4 has some big releases coming up, so it's nice to know that other consoles are getting some love and support in Sony's downtime. Keeps the market diverse.
Looking at some of the names up there, however, I reckon Microsoft might've had a sale on!
"the rest of the top 10 is dominated by exclusives — and not Sony's"
You would think at least God of War would still be selling.
And yea FIFA 20 is fun as always FIFA is. I'm surprised Volta is actually quite hard. Getting the ball into those small goals isn't as easy as you'd think. So many modes it deserves no.1 in comparison to the rest of the new releases.
@ApostateMage Or a Newcastle 1 Man U 0 one.
@nessisonett Its more that im not waiting for a future with €60 mobilephone games silly me wanting value for my €60.
@Rick_Deckard Yeah, it’s reviewed well and by all accounts is a hit. I’m mainly surprised because these sales are all in addition to GamePass, and I would think most people are playing it through that service.
Granted, overall game sales are way down, is what I heard, so even the games in the top 10 haven’t necessarily sold very much.
@TheArt - not really, i think GoW has pretty much reached saturation point in the UK as far as its sales go. without a significant price drop, or sony giving it away free with every PS4, its not really that likely to see much sales pick up. sea of thieves, minecraft and FH3 are all included in the XB1s bundle for £170 - even if only a few thousand xboxs are sold, that's enough for those titles to be top 10. if the PS4 and switch versions of minecraft were included, it would actually be number 3 overall, above borderlands.
@leucocyte Hmph, that explanation isn't too convincing. So what's stopping Sony from bundling GoW, HZD, Spiderman etc with PS4 slims... I mean I really really love all of PS4's exclusives so far I feel they should still have a presence in top 10s.
@TheArt - nothing's stopping them, they just don't. if those xbox games weren't given away free, they'd be nowhere the top ten. GoW was the second biggest selling exclusive game in the UK for 2018, after Spiderman. its market reach is probably close to as far as it'll go.
I dont need to play fifa anymore to live out my dreams seen as liverpool will win the league this year
