The UK's latest physical games chart is in, and a trio of new releases finally puts an end to Kratos' five week reign atop the best sellers. Replacing it in the top spot is Detroit: Become Human, Quantic Dream's newest story-driven adventure title. According to GamesIndustry.biz, the sci-fi drama is roughly selling in line with the studio's previous game, Beyond: Two Souls, but as digital sales aren't included, it's likely to have had a better first week in total.
Microsoft's State of Decay 2 and Bandai Namco's Dark Souls Remastered take second and third respectively, and it's this trio of new releases, as well as consistent sales for FIFA 18, that see God of War drop down to fifth. Perhaps the biggest notable jump, however, comes from Overwatch, which has leapt from No.40 to No.7 thanks to in-store price promotions.
Here's the latest top 10.
UK Sales Charts: Week Ending 26th May, 2018
- Detroit: Become Human
- State of Decay 2
- Dark Souls Remastered
- FIFA 18
- God of War
- Far Cry 5
- Overwatch
- Destiny 2
- Fallout 4
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

PS. It takes an exclusive to beat an exclusive
Also God of War is up 5% week-to-week, so that’s great.
@Fight_Teza_Fight plus a super janky zombie game on the Xbox, apparently.
@kyleforrester87 I’m just glad more people decided to Become Human than Xbots.
I’ll show myself out 😅
@Fight_Teza_Fight to be honest though State of Decay does appeal to me lol
I’m actually a little surprised that Detroit is selling this well. Not that I don’t think the game is worth it, I just thought it was going to be more niche.
@Fight_Teza_Fight So it seems like a big drop, but it sold actually better than last week? Kratos is back at number 1 next week
Nice, it deserves it. I'm really liking it a lot.
C-C-C-C-Combo breaker.
Well done, Detroit! 👏
@kyleforrester87 That’s fair enough! Not seen much on it, so can’t comment. Just glad Detroit did well!
@Th3solution I feel like QD games are more targeted at a casual audience. The ‘hardcore’ usually c### all over them, but they sell well (Heavy Rain 5.4million on PS3 only). I know a couple of pensioners that LOVE their games, but they refuse to shell out for a new console (PS4) 😅.
@Octane GTA V is still topping the charts every few months, so who knows 🤔?
@Fight_Teza_Fight Please stay, that was great. =P
@kyleforrester87
It's a bit of a technical mess. But as far as zombie survival fantasies go, it hits all the right notes. Detroit is great though. I'm glad hit number one 😎😎😎
Nice to see PS4 owners supporting exclusive titles like this. Congratulations to Quantic Dream. @Quintumply @get2sammyb do you think Sony will drop early sales numbers for Detroit like they did for God of War?
Xbox owners are so desperate for games...I really don't understand Microsoft honestly! They had 0 effort all gen...
Anyway, hurray for Detroit, it's a pretty cool game...I would say I'm enjoying it as much as Heavy Rain. Thank god for gifts
@Fight_Teza_Fight True! Hah, I'm just glad word of mouth of doing its work for GOW.
@Fight_Teza_Fight if im not mistaken 5.4m sold were both ps3 and ps4 combined.
I'm ready to fight Thor and Odin, DLC has to be announced at E3.
Great news. Haven't finished it yet but I'm really loving Detroit so far.
@Fight_Teza_Fight Yeah, and in retrospect, I feel like the Detroit marketing has been much more aggressive than any of the other QD games. Although I could be mistaken.
Pretty varied list which is good, I thought Dark Souls was amazing first time I played it, but post the sequels and Bloodborne I dont feel like playing it again at the moment. Im less into the pvp thing so perhaps if was a Scholar of First Sin type release, with things slighty remixed, Id be more interested... Do want to get around to Detroit Become Human and God of War though.
Damn. Guess Sony is happy with these results either way.
I'm really really enjoying Detroit. The 3 protagonists (and other characters) are such a likeable bunch. So far I think this is my favourite QD game.
I'm really glad it had a successful launch week. I played it over the weekend after handing in my final assignment for the semester and loved it. I'll be jumping back in to fix up some late game mistakes in the next week and I can't wait
Glad it is doing well. Most people are probably waiting for a price drop before purchasing this, so I imagine the total sales in the end will become quite high.
@eltomo they won’t be dlc. Gotta leave something for the sequels.
I love Detroit! I'm glad it's doing well!
State of Decay 2 was a massive disappointment... I really liked the game, but it was so incredibly buggy! I had to refund it because I was afraid it would have bricked my PC.
Nice, I hope detroid is successful so QD can make another game like this
So that three PS4 exclusives that have topped the UK charts already this year. Spiderman should be a shoe in, can't think of any other potentials though.
Very nice... Detroit is on my list. I just can't keep up - one big game after another on PS4.
Hoped God of War would beat The Last of Us record. But whatever. I'm glad for Detroit: Become Human. Word up, son.
