UK Sales Charts: Helldivers 2 PS5 Drops into the Top 10 | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Last week was a relatively quiet moment in what's been a very busy period for game releases, but the latest UK retail chart still has a new entry. While we presume most of its sales will be digital across PS5 and PC, it appears Helldivers 2 isn't doing too badly with its boxed copies, either. The PS5 version has debuted in the top 10 at number seven.

It shakes up what is otherwise a pretty familiar list of bestsellers. Hogwarts Legacy has reclaimed number one, with EA Sports FC 24 back in second and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League now in third place. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 makes a big return at number six — we assume this is down to a price cut — while the more recent iteration, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, is at number eight. Tekken 8 takes a tumble from third to ninth, and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 almost crawls back to the top 10, currently at number 11.

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.

I guess Suicide Squad ain't the flop everyone expected it to be, also id wager HellDivers 2 sold way more digital copies (ratio wise) than other games would due to its reasonable price.

@UltimateOtaku91 i guess suicide squad had a larger budget and therefore has to sell more copies to be a financial success. Its current steam engagement is in the low thousands, so it my struggle long term.

@UltimateOtaku91 without units sold, this chart is kinda meaningless. I thought I read that it sold half of guardians of the galaxy at launch, which wasn't considered a commercial success, despite being top of the charts.

@UltimateOtaku91 That's actually false. The game has abysmal numbers on steam and last week it was reported that it did a lot worse than Guardians and Avengers. The game is dead on arrival.
