UK Sales Charts: Helldivers 2 Holds Firm While Skull and Bones Sails into the Top 10 | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

The UK's latest boxed games chart is in, and it's been invaded by a couple of new releases to shake things up. Nintendo's latest Switch exclusive predictably takes the top spot, knocking Hogwarts Legacy back down to second place. Ubisoft is also back in the bestsellers list with Skull and Bones, the online pirate action title that was in development for a thousand years. It's sailed into fourth place, which isn't a bad debut for a game everyone seems to have written off.

Elsewhere, the popular Helldivers 2 has retained its hold on number seven for the second week in a row. It holds back Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, which has leapt up the chart from 20th to eighth. It knocks Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 down to number nine, and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 once again almost hits the top 10 in 11th.

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

Having grown up alongside PlayStation, Stephen has developed an eclectic taste in video games and a wide knowledge of the medium, from small indie gems to the biggest AAA blockbusters. Ever hopeful that the Burnout series makes a miraculous return.

The failure of Suicide Squad and Skull and Bones gives me hope!

@Triumph741 Suicide Squad really has flopped hasn't it. It's not like anyone saw this coming...

Helldivers 2 on the other hand is fantastic!

So the AAAA game debuted in 4th place?

@Triumph741 How can you call Skull & Bones a failure when it's pretty high up in the charts?

@Pat_trick I quit the beta after 30 mins. It was a «4A» into mediocrity.

@Bentleyma These charts are beyond meaningless. SS was at the top last week, but according to insiders it sold only half as well as Guardians(a notorious flop) and presumably a lot worse than Avengers(another notorious flop) judging by https://steamcharts.com/app/315210(yikes)

@Bentleyma That is the power of marketing, especially coming from the biggest game company in Europe. But we all know it is a flop, with both low review scores
