PlayStation Store Sales Charts NBA 2K21 and FIFA 20 Prove PS4 Players Obsessed with Balls
Go sports team
The PlayStation Store charts for September have arrived, and sports games lead the charge. In North America, it's NBA 2K21 that takes the top spot, while FIFA 20 claims the win in Europe. As you might expect, Marvel's Avengers does okay for itself, coming in second on the US chart and fifth on the EU equivalent. Fall Guys is also...
News UK Sales Charts: Physical Crash 4 Sales Down 80% on N. Sane Trilogy
But still top of the charts
We’re in the middle of a pandemic, a month away from the PlayStation 5, in a climate where more and more players are selecting digital software – but despite all of that, Activision will surely be disappointed with Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time’s opening UK physical sales. To be fair, the title did top the...
News UK Sales Charts: Mafia Makes the Top 10 Not Once But Twice
Organised legal activity
Publisher 2K will be very happy to see Mafia has launched in the UK's physical top 10 twice. If you're wondering how, don't worry — there's no underhanded criminal work going on, there are just two different ways to buy Mafia. Debuting in third place is Mafia: Definitive Edition, the remake of the very first entry in the...
News UK Sales Charts: Mario Forces Avengers and Tony Hawk Down the Top 10
All-Stars
Marvel's Avengers has been sitting pretty atop the UK's physical games chart for two weeks in a row, but it's now been dethroned by a certain moustachioed plumber. It's had to settle for number two, while Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 has kickflipped down into fourth place. A couple of new PlayStation 4 releases make their way into the top...
News August 2020 NPD: EA Sports Lands a One-Two Combo on US Game Charts
In the game
While it may feel like the quality of EA Sports’ output has taken a nosedive, its sales are not exactly hurting, as the publisher has landed a one-two punch on the US sales charts for August 2020. Madden NFL 21 was ranked the best-selling title by dollar sales, with EA Sports UFC 4 sitting closely behind in second place – what are...
News UK Sales Charts: Marvel's Avengers Triumphs Over Tony Hawk for a Second Week
Not a superman
Last week saw the release of both Marvel's Avengers and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, and predictably, both ended up atop the UK's physical charts. It's hardly a surprise that this latest chart sees them maintain their respective positions in first and second. The skateboarding remake might be pretending to be a superman, but it can't...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts Fall Guys Can't Top Madden 21 in US, But It's a Knockout in Europe
Getting the dub
Sony has posted the PlayStation Store charts for last month, and to nobody's real surprise, Fall Guys performed very well indeed. The little indie game that could reached number one in Europe, while it's a little further down in North America, taking fourth place. It's Madden NFL 21 that scoops the win in that region, naturally...
Tony Hawk also charts
In rather predictable fashion, Marvel's Avengers has stormed to the top of the UK physical charts. Square Enix's hero-based brawler beat out Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 to secure the summit, but it sounds like its numbers aren't anything to write home about just yet. As Games Industry reports, Avengers sold less than a third...
News UK Sales Charts: Madden 21 Breaches Top 10 in Slow Week for PS4
Good sport
If the latest charts are anything to go by, not much happened at UK games retail last week. The physical charts are much the same as they were seven days ago, with most of the top 10 games remaining in place. Marvel's Spider-Man benefited from a surge last week, but has now moved down to 14th. Taking its spot in the top 10 is Madden NFL...
News UK Sales Charts: Spider-Man PS4 Back in Top 10, PGA Tour 2K21 Almost a Hole in One
Spidey returns
PGA Tour 2K21 came mightily close to leaving its competition in the dirt last week as the only new entry in the UK sales chart hit the green in the number two spot. It couldn't conquer the cutesy might of Nintendo Switch exclusive Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but the rare appearance of a golfing title in the United Kingdom's top 10...
News UK Sales Charts: UFC 4 Dominates as Ghost of Tsushima Falls Back
A new champ
The UK does love a good sports sim, so it's only natural that EA Sports UFC 4 takes the top spot. Launching at the end of last week, the series makes its return with a number one debut at physical retail. The new release pushes other big sellers down a place or two, although some top 10 mainstays refuse to give in. Ghost of Tsushima was...
News July 2020 NPD: Ghost of Tsushima the Next PS4 Exclusive to Top the Chart
Sony dominance
After dominating the UK sales charts for close to a month, selling out in Japan, and surpassing 2.4 million copies sold in just three days, Ghost of Tsushima has now found itself at the top of the best-selling games chart in the US for the month of July 2020. The PlayStation 4 exclusive is now the fifth best-selling game of the year...
News UK Sales Charts: Ghost of Tsushima Settles for Second as The Last of Us 2 Exits Top 10
Taken down a peg
After a three-week stint as king of the castle, Ghost of Tsushima takes second place in the latest UK physical chart. The open world samurai adventure has been doing very well for itself since release last month, becoming Sony's fastest selling new IP on PlayStation 4, but its claim to the top spot couldn't last forever. Similarly,...
News UK Sales Charts: Ghost of Tsushima Takes Top Spot for a Third Week
Destroy All Humans, Skater XL debut
There's nothing stopping Ghost of Tsushima right now. The popular PlayStation 4 exclusive has claimed first place in the UK sales charts for a third week in a row since its launch, equalling the stint that The Last of Us: Part II boasted of in top spot throughout June and July. It had to fend off competition from...
News UK Sales Charts: Ghost of Tsushima Retains First Place in Slow PS4 Week
Samurai masterclass
PlayStation 4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima has found itself at the top of the UK sales chart for the second week running. This means it has just one more week at the top to go before it matches the The Last of Us: Part II's record last month. It'll have to fend off some mighty competition from Nintendo titles in order to do that,...
News UK Sales Charts: Ghost of Tsushima Is the Next PS4 Exclusive to Get Top Spot
The Last of Us 2 in fifth
Ghost of Tsushima is the second big PlayStation 4 exclusive of the summer, and just like last month's counterpart, it has debuted in first place in the UK sales charts. The latest open world experience from Sucker Punch Productions didn't manage to come close to the sales figures of The Last of Us: Part II, as noted by...
News June 2020 NPD: The Last of Us 2 Tops the Chart Across the US
The biggest June since 2009
Not only was The Last of Us: Part II Sony's quickest selling PlayStation 4 exclusive ever and the most downloaded title from the PlayStation Store for the month of June, it has also topped the sales chart in the US. NPD reports that Naughty Do
News UK Sales Charts: F1 2020 Races Past The Last of Us 2 for Pole Position
Victory lap
It was going to happen sooner or later -- The Last of Us: Part II has been booted off the top spot in the UK's physical chart. After three weeks at number one, the Naughty Dog title is now in third place. Racing sim F1 2020 takes its place on top of the podium. Elsewhere, Marvel's Iron Man VR is still just about in the top 10; it's...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts The Last of Us 2 Is June's Most Downloaded PS4 Game
Hardly a surprise
The Last of Us: Part II has been both a critical and commercial success, breaking launch weekend records and absolutely smashing the UK physical charts. It should come as no surprise to learn that it's seen similar momentum digitally. While we don't have any figures, Sony has revealed that Naughty Dog's game was last month's most...
News UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us 2 Remains Number One Despite Heroic Debut for Iron Man VR
Top (naughty) dog
You probably don't need us to tell you this, but The Last of Us: Part II is selling extremely well. Last week, the game outsold the rest of the UK top 10 combined, and it sold through 4 million copies in its opening weekend. It should come as no surprise to learn it remains atop the UK physical chart, then. However, perhaps more...
News UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us Remastered Returns Amid Sequel's Success
We really are The Last of Us
Not one but two The Last of Us titles cracked the UK sales charts this week, as The Last of Us Remastered rebounded on the back of its PlayStation 4 successor’s record-breaking success. Joel and Ellie’s inaugural adventure saw an 82 per cent rise in week-on-week sales in order to secure 9th place, while the sequel...
News UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us 2 Is Sony's Fastest Selling PS4 Game Ever in the UK
40 per cent higher than Animal Crossing
Its user score may be in tatters over on Metacritic, but as many predicted, the outcry against The Last of Us: Part II has done little to stop the game from becoming an immediate sales success for Sony. In the UK, Naughty Dog's sequel has rocketed to the top of the software charts following its launch last...
News UK Sales Charts: The Usual Suspects Return to Top 10 in Barren PS4 Week
Just three PS4 games
Sony's physical Days of Play promotion is over and done with, meaning that the latest UK sales chart is seriously lacking in PlayStation 4 titles. There are just three games to speak of that are available on a Sony system as Nintendo Switch games all but dominate the top 10. FIFA 20 has lost the top spot as it slips down to...
News May 2020 NPD: Coronavirus Impact Continues Video Game Sales Surge
Almost $1 billion
Video game sales in the United States were up an unfathomable 52 per cent year-over-year in May 2020, according to the latest NPD report. Total industry spend reached almost $1 billion, which is just short of the $1.2 billion record set in May 2008. That was the month that Grand Theft Auto IV released, but the aging Grand Theft...
News UK Sales Charts: Days of Play Promotion Boosts PS4 Exclusives Once Again
One final push
Sony's Days of Play sale is coming to an end today in the UK, but its impact on the charts is noticeable. As with last week, the latest physical chart sees a dramatic boost in sales for PlayStation 4 exclusives. Days Gone has fallen back to 11th, but The Last of Us Remastered has moved up a spot into eighth. Marvel's Spider-Man also...
News UK Sales Charts: Days of Play Sale Brings PS4 Exclusives Back to Top 10
Outrunning the horde
What a difference a sale makes. Sony's annual Days of Play sale hit the UK last week, and numerous PlayStation 4 titles have shot back up the chart. Three PS4 exclusives have made it into the top 10, with even more slightly lower down. Days Gone sees the biggest bump, re-entering at number six, while The Last of Us Remastered...
News UK Sales Charts: Maneater and Saints Row The Third Remastered Bring Dumb Fun to the Top 10
This one's got bite
After what has been an incredibly stagnant top 10 list for the past couple of weeks, two new PlayStation 4 titles have finally given us an interesting talking point in the UK sales charts. Sure, mainstays such as Grand Theft Auto V and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order are still part of the list, but today we welcome Maneater and...
News April NPD 2020: Industry Achieves New Record High As Coronavirus Sees Sales Soar
Final Fantasy VII Remake tops the charts
One of the biggest beneficiaries of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has been the video game industry, which registered its biggest ever April in the United States last month. Consumer spend reached an eye-watering $1.5 billion, which is up a whopping 73 per cent year-over-year, as families find new ways to...
News UK Sales Charts: Grand Theft Auto V Still the Bestselling PS4 Game in a Stagnant Top 10
Spot the difference
The physical UK games chart has very nearly come to a complete standstill. The latest sales positions are almost identical to last week's, with only one or two minor changes to the top 10. In terms of PlayStation 4 titles, it's Grand Theft Auto V that's doing the best, maintaining its spot in second place despite its age...
News UK Sales Charts: Final Fantasy VII Remake Leaves the Top 10 as GTA V Gains Ground
Still got it
The world has ground to a halt, and so too has the physical UK games chart. There's sadly not much to report this week, as new releases have dried up and we're left with the usual suspects. In fact, a game that's been in the top 10 nearly every week for many years, Grand Theft Auto V, is very nearly back at the very top. It's in second...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts Final Fantasy VII Remake Comes Top in the US
But not in Europe
The April download charts for PlayStation Store are in, and as usual, there are some notable differences between regions. Final Fantasy VII Remake is perhaps the most prominent new entry in both charts, but it placed higher in North America, debuting at number one. In Europe, Cloud's return came fourth to some evergreen PS4 titles,...
News UK Sales Charts: SnowRunner Faces Uphill Battle Against an Immovable Top 10
Slow and steady
More than usual, the physical UK chart is noticeably stagnant. This should come as no surprise, of course, but it makes it a tough subject to talk about as each week passes with little change. With many games pushed back and brick and mortar game shops closed, this was bound to happen. SnowRunner, a decent offroad haulage simulator,...
News UK Sales Charts: Resident Evil 3 Falls Out of Top 10 in a Slow Week for PS4
Musical chairs
The latest physical UK chart is here, and if we swapped it out for last week's, no one would notice. Nine out of the top 10 games once again make an appearance among the bestsellers, with the exception of Resident Evil 3. Capcom's latest remake has slipped from eighth to 17th. Replacing it is Red Dead Redemption 2, which has been on...
News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty Kicks Final Fantasy VII Remake Off the Podium
At ease, soldier
It was hardly a surprise, but Final Fantasy VII Remake dominated the physical UK chart last week. With new releases slowing down, we were expecting it to top the latest chart as well, but alas, it's been bested by some old favourites. FIFA 20 takes the top spot this time, while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is in third place, meaning...
News March 2020 NPD: PS4 Exclusives Strong As Switch Explodes
Sony's system up 25% year-over-year
A global pandemic is good news for Nintendo apparently, as Switch registered absurd sales figures greater than its launch. But the NPD sales report for March 2020 in the United States also includes positive news for PlayStation, as a spate of exclusive software performed particularly well on the Japanese giant’s...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts New Releases Can't Compete with Call of Duty
Modern Warfare and Warzone lead the way
March saw the release of several key PlayStation 4 titles, but none of them could quite knock Call of Duty: Modern Warfare off its throne. Particularly in Europe, last month's new games didn't make much of a dent in the digital download chart. DOOM Eternal is 14th in Europe, but fares better across the...
News UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us Remastered Makes Surprise Return to the Top 10
Post-apocalypse comeback
A number of new PlayStation 4 releases have brought a welcome shake-up to the UK sales charts over the past couple of weeks. However, the surprise this time around is the unexpected return of one of the console's best exclusives. The Last of Us Remastered has reentered the top 10, climbing seven places while Final Fantasy...
News UK Sales Charts: Resident Evil 3 Makes Call of Duty Its Nemesis in Fight for Number One
But you can't stop Nemesis
Last week saw the arrival of Resident Evil 3, and it seems the UK managed to grab its fair share of physical copies despite the coronavirus lockdown. Capcom's latest remake secures a second place debut, not quite toppling the almighty Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. However, it did knock FIFA 20 down a peg. It's not the...
News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty Creates a Warzone with DOOM Eternal for Shooter Supremacy
Bang bang
The latest UK chart is in, and we're back to a relative norm. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is back atop the all formats chart, and we can probably attribute part of that resurgence to Warzone, the free-to-play add-on that now comes with every copy. Meanwhile, DOOM Eternal, which saw a strong second place debut last week, moves down a...
News UK Sales Charts: DOOM Eternal Secures Second Place Amid Huge Surge in Demand for Games
Coronavirus prompts spike in game sales
It's an extremely turbulent time right now, as fears surrounding coronavirus see businesses shutting up shop, employees working from home, and streets clearing as people are forced to stay indoors. It would be insensitive to make light of the situation, of course, but one interesting side effect of all this is...
News UK Sales Charts: Nioh 2 on PS4 Slays with Number One Debut at Retail
Monster sales
Finally, a new release on PlayStation 4 has made an impact on the UK's physical chart. Nioh 2, Team Ninja's Souls-esque sequel, arrived last week, and has defeated a number of huge foes to debut in first place. It's a good result for the PS4 exclusive in an unusual week for games at retail. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and FIFA 20 are...
News February 2020 NPD: Consumer Spending Dips in Uneventful Month
On the rocks
Consumer spending dropped by 29 per cent year-over-year, as February 2020 proved to be an uneventful month in the latest NPD sales report for the United States. According to analyst Mat Piscatella, “late cycle hardware dynamics for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as well as a lighter new release software slate drove the variance”. It...
News UK Sales Charts: The Usual Suspects Remain as the Country Sleeps on Dreams
Pun intended
The physical UK chart feels like it's been pretty much the same for months now. This is partly down to a lack of notable new PlayStation 4 releases, of course, but it's a little difficult to drum up things to say each week when the same handful of games are perpetually the country's top sellers. This week, Nintendo secures a successful...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts The Division 2 Claims Top Spot with $2.99 Sale
Dreams in fifth place
The Division 2 did very, very well for itself last month on the PlayStation Store, ranking first in the US and second across Europe in the PlayStation Store sales charts for the month of February 2020. It has the fact that it was on sale for just $2.99 to thank for that, while the looter shooter was also heavily discounted...
News UK Sales Charts: Dreams Declines While Two Point Hospital Gets a Very Healthy Start
NH Yes
Here's something we weren't expecting to see this morning. In a retail chart otherwise filled with the typical popular titles, Two Point Hospital gets off to a great start, coming in just behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for a second place debut. It's a pleasant surprise to see a relatively small game do so well in the shops. We're not...
News UK Sales Charts: Dreams Flies Low as Bayonetta and Vanquish Breach Top 10
Bad dream
We all knew it would probably happen -- Dreams has been a critical success, but commercial success appears to be much tougher for it. After debuting at number eight in last week's physical UK chart, the latest bestsellers list puts Media Molecule's masterpiece at number 15. It's not quite as bad as it sounds, though. The decrease in sales...
News UK Sales Charts: Yakuza in Dreams Land As PS4 Exclusives Start Strong
Two new PS4 titles in top ten
If you’ve been following the Yakuza franchise since the dark days when Sony had to step in and localise Yakuza 5 on SEGA’s behalf, then it’s probably refreshing to see a trio of Ryu ga Gotoku re-releases near the top of the UK charts. Yakuza Remastered Collection was actually the biggest new physical launch in...
News January 2020 NPD: Dragon Ball the Only Winner in Dry Month
Just Saiyan
Overall video game spend dropped by 26 per cent year-over-year in a dismal start to 2020 in the United States. As has been the case for a while now, hardware sales dipped dramatically, with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on the cusp of being replaced. Perhaps surprisingly, not even the younger, sprightlier Nintendo Switch could avoid...
News UK Sales Charts: Zombie Army 4 Lurches Into the Top 10 as Dragon Ball Crashes to Earth
Not much else to see, though
Another week, another physical UK chart to yawn at. With a lack of new software, the spending habits of Brits have hardly changed for weeks. The latest top 10, however, does have a new entry. Zombie Army 4: Dead War from Rebellion makes a debut at number eight, and we suspect it will have done even better digitally...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts The Witcher 3 Is Still Riding High on Netflix Show's Success
Dragon Ball Z cracks top 10
Netflix's take on The Witcher has been hugely successful, and it's had a significant knock-on effect on CD Projekt RED's much beloved PlayStation 4 title, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. In January, the game was within the top five most downloaded games from the PS Store in both North America and Europe. Speaking of enduring...
