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 out the top three.
Games like Grand Theft Auto V and Borderlands 3 are still sticking around towards the lower end of the bestsellers. The only meaningful change, if you can call it that, is the resurgence of Red Dead Redemption 2 and, yes, WWE 2K20 into the top 10. Coming in at ninth and 10th respectively, it's maybe surprising to see the latter game claw its way back up the chart. However, it is January; it's probably safe to assume both of these titles received price cuts, explaining their reappearance.
Here's the latest top 10.
UK Sales Charts: Week Ending 4th January, 2020
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
- Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
- FIFA 20
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- Luigi's Mansion 3
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Borderlands 3
- Just Dance 2020
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- WWE 2K20

Why? Who is buying a game so broken that it didn't even work at the start of this year?
@carlos82 It's the holiday season. Even those who have never seen or touched a console have to buy games for their kids/nephews/siblings. Obviously they go with something familiar on the cover.

Exactly, this is the sort of thing that Aunties buy their nephews on advice from GAME staff as to "Whats a good game a 12 year old boy would like?"
Chance to move the dead stock.
Who on Earth is buying it? WWE and 2K are taking liberties still selling it!!
Anyone who buys this is a blight on gaming. Casuals and blind fans are the reason why we get garbage.
How a game like WWE 2K20 is selling is beyond me, shows how many casual gamers there are who just buy what first comes to mind in the shop.
Also could be parents who are buying this for their children of course.
WWE 2K20 has been reduced to £20.99 the past few weeks. Probably explains its presence
Star Wars has done well, very well. Received it as a Christmas gift but got some other games to play through first.
Usual suspects but what do you expect? No major new games have come out and just Call of Duty and FIFA are the sort of games that come in PS4 bundles not Death Stranding or the latest indie darling.
Rockstar still killing it. I wonder what game they are making right now and when it will be released? GTA 6 for sure but I'd love to see them tackle something different in addition, perhaps try and out Starfield Bethesda by making a proper sci-fi game.
They're a great developer albeit a greedy one!
I've got a mate who bought this for his wrestling mad little lad for Christmas. I didn't have the heart to tell him that it was supposed to be a broken mess. To be honest though, I don't think he'd be bothered.
@carlos82 if you spend a lot of time on forums, you forget that the average consumer is not well informed at all.
@Futureshark sad but so true little Timmy will not be pleased.
Delighted with the Success of Fallen Order. Hopefully it will encourage developers to make more quality single player games.
So I guess the new gaming business model is:
release a game so broken it becomes unplayable for a day
release a patch that fixes your oh too obvious error
profit
2k20 is £19.99 online at smyths but i'm sure I saw at £10.99 in store this weekend. And ASDA have it for £14.00. If the supermarkets are washing the shelves it will be selling as impulse to people who don't follow any press. Remember that Anthem was one of 2019's best sellers!
poor idiots get home and WTF 10.99 ive paid 10.49 to fffffffffffffffffffffffff much
Physically don't understand how gta v is still selling THIS much. Surely every single person with a console or pc owns that by now. Nothing short of impressive, despite my thoughts of it
Who is buying that broken game?? No wonder devs and publisher can get away with broken. So now if a game is released in a broken state people can not cry about it.
We gotta show the devs and publishers that we won't buy their broken games.
