The UK's physical games chart has its ups and downs, things that change, and sometimes, even a surprise or two. However, nothing is more consistent in this country's gaming spend than EA Sports' FIFA franchise. The football sims, understandably, are ever-present in the bestsellers, with each annual entry replacing the last. FIFA 21 has been moving around a little, but it's back at number one in the latest results. Normality has been restored.
Elsewhere in the top 10, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales remains pretty persistent, moving back down into fourth place. It bumps Resident Evil Village down to fifth, which in turn means Assassin's Creed Valhalla moves down a spot into sixth. The Last of Us: Part II, which came back to the chart thanks to the Days of Play sale, moves from third to eighth. Ghost of Tsushima is sneaking up on the top 10, hiding just in the shadows at number 11.
Here's the latest top 10 in full.

Another good mix of PlayStation and Nintendo titles occupying the top ten this week. Though it’d be nice to see Returnal get the sales recognition that both its gameplay and presentation wholly deserve.
I'm very curious about the total sales number of TLOU2..any estimates?
Just got miles morales physical disc today because my local store have the region 1 version 😃
It will be super great if ps5 games between region can cross-save, I don't like buying and playing physical disc asia region 3, then when I buy the discounted region 1 version on psn, I have to start over again because the save files isn't compatibles.
@wiiware Damn, I thought regions were a thing of the past sorry to hear that !
Where is GTA V ? Lol
Again not bad for what some claimed was 'Overpriced DLC'.
@JustPlainLoco lol, exactly my thoughts. But we're talking about the same people that think of Medium as a launch-exclusive AAA title.
@Total_Weirdo I was lucky enough to snap one up from amazon on Wednesday and Miles Morales will be my first major ps5 purchase. Closely followed by Demon souls
@Katsuhono Ps5 games is region free but unfortunately the save games file isn't, my main account is in psn usa since not all games available on psn asia region 3. And the discount usually better on usa psn too.
@The_Pixel_King it's a shame, but it is getting the recognition it's price deserves here in UK. It's not Housemarques fault, they delivered on a quality piece of software, it's all on Sony trying to fleece us Brits.
@zebric21
official sales 4+ million in 3 days
3rd highest grossing ps exclusive in just 3-4 months beating 10+ million selling games like uc4, hzd, tlou etc
in uk the game sold 500k
in germany also 500k
got sold 6.5 million copies but still outgrossed by tlou2
Well deserved.
Probably still THE best mainstream game to introduce people to the PS5 and probably helps it's MASSIVELY cheaper than the other first party games at around £35 for the base game brand new.
Port Miles Morales to PC 💯.
Let's have it optimized, like Source engine games are.
@adrianthealchemist by the looks of it it's not just me that refuses to support £70 games in any way. You can play all of the mental gymnastics you like, but if i don't like the price (see the value in it), i won't pay it. It's as simple as that
@adrianthealchemist plus i'm all digital so 100% of that £70 goes straight to Sony.
Loved Miles Morales, left me wanting more. Next full game will be massive.
People keep 2nd guessing Sony. But obviously these are the games that move $500 hardware for them,
@Loftimus Oh I hear you, man. But I buckled last week and bought Returnal on disc for £65. Though, it didn’t cost me anything as I traded in my old DualShock4 and some other bits and bobs. Ended up with £8 in credit. So glad I got it, as it’s an incredible game!
@The_Pixel_King yeah, i dont blame you. My mate is after selling his disc ps5, but he's got the £ signs in his eyes. I'm trying to get him to swap my digi ps5 plus £100, but he's not having it at the minute.
@Loftimus Ah that’s a shame. Hope your mate changes his mind. I almost bought the digital edition myself, as my entire game collection is digital across PS4, Switch, Vita and 3DS (let’s not talk about the Wii U 😉), but in the end I could only get the disc version and I’m glad I did. Just adds some flexibility. I don’t like having to rely on PSN sales for the new gen. I’ve even sold physical Switch games in the past to get eShop credit and buy the digital version of the game instead!
@The_Pixel_King yeah, same here. I bought everything digital on ps4 apart from ff7r...
@Loftimus My only physical games on PS4 were Spider-Man (the first one, not Miles) and Star Wars Jedi, so I traded both of them in, along with a DualShock4 and an old Switch case to get the store credit for Returnal. I think we both got a good deal. Only 8 hours in, but I’m loving, absolutely loving, Returnal so far.
Christ! Are people really still buying Fifa?! Really?? No disrespect to any footie fans out there, btw.
@Total_Weirdo Is there a BIG graphical difference between 'Spider-man: MM' on PS4 and PS5?
@Total_Weirdo That's cool. Dont feel like I'm missing out much, buying it on my Cough (Slight embarrassment), base PS4.
