We all know Capcom's over-the-top actioner Devil May Cry 5 is brilliant, and it turns out British gamers think so too. The acclaimed sequel has brought the series back into the limelight atop the physical chart, a feat not achieved by the series since the divisive DmC: Devil May Cry from Ninja Theory. According to GFK, the game sold 20,872 copies at retail.
A new game at number one means ANTHEM has been knocked off its perch, and EA's loot shooter falls into fourth place. Far Cry: New Dawn and Metro: Exodus are also lower down the top 10 at number six and number nine respectively. Meanwhile, Red Dead Redemption 2 leaps back up to second position. Left Alive was the only other new release to enter the top 40, and it did so just barely, making a disappointing debut at number 39.
Here's the latest top 10 in full.

20,000 doesn't sound an awful lot,but still loving it, sure a zero not missing?
@suikoden Definitely no zero missing.
But remember this doesn't include digital!
Can somebody please take GTAV round the back of the shed and whack it with a spade?
Seriously, did we make it the law to buy a copy or something?
Atleast this is a worthy number 1. Glad to see Anthem slowly moving down.
Game's pretty dull.
Been loving DMC5 so I'm very happy to see this.
Well Deserved, as my first DMC game absolutely loving it. Got my first ever SSS with Nero on chapter 8. Last played as Dante on chapter 11 this morning.
@RogerRoger I must confess i downloaded it for 12 quid when i pre-ordered DMC on friday afternoon.
Move over weeb, Division agent incoming.
@MightyDemon82 Ah ha! So, it's all YOUR fault...?!
@suikoden as mentioned above no digital and this is just the UK sales chart. In the grand scheme of things we are a small piece of the pie.
@RogerRoger Almost all the women on my PSN play GTA Online only or mostly. So at this point you could say GTA is a type of entertainment on it's own. Like there's Games, there's Movies, there's Music and then there's GTA.
It's a superb game, 20k is kinda sad...
There better be a dmc6 😁😁
Great game!... and doing great on PC also
