UK Sales Charts: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Debuts at the Top, Helldivers 2 Holds Firm | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

This should come as no surprise, but Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has launched straight to the top of the UK's physical chart. Square Enix's sequel is one of 2024's biggest releases and had a huge amount of pre-launch hype, so we'd expect nothing less. It forces EA Sports FC 24 into second place, and Hogwarts Legacy also slips one position into third.

One game that hasn't moved, though, is Helldivers 2. Sony's co-op shooter remains in fourth for a second week, despite the heavy competition. Looking further down, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has slipped into eighth, while Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is hanging around at number nine. In at number 10 is none other than Grand Theft Auto V.

Here's the latest top 10 in full (physical sales only).

Been absolutely loving FF7 Rebirth. It easily tops the original FF7.

@Zenos This is a ban-worthy comment.

I agree, one of the best games I've ever played so far, you seem to like it less than most @shogunRok

Yeah it's pretty phenomenal. A big improvement from Remake and I loved that. Synergy system is so so good

@djhegzy I just don't like comparing one part of a currently unfinished three-game saga to an all-time classic RPG that changed the industry as we know it.

I really like Remake and Rebirth, but FF7 is a genuine masterpiece. I guarantee this trilogy won't have anywhere near the impact as the original, nor will it be remembered so fondly.

(I am looking forward to part 3, mind.)

Some legit good games doing well these days. It's nice to see

@ShogunRok Yeah I know I am gonna get heat for this comment but I am 100% serious. Not enjoyed
