UK Sales Charts: Helldivers 2 Returns to Top 10 in Quiet Week for New PS5, PS4 Releases | Push Square
19.04.2024 - 05:34 / pushsquare.com / Nintendo
Boy, those first few months of 2024 were crazy, right? The torrent of big, flashy new games is finally relenting, though, and the UK's physical games chart is beginning to settle into a groove. EA Sports FC 24 is number one, once again, and Hogwarts Legacy is equally consistent at number two.
The remainder of the bestsellers has been moving around a little, with the popular Helldivers 2 making a leap back into the top 10. It's now eighth, up from 14th. Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is up to fourth, with the PS5 and PS4 versions taking up 99 per cent of the share. Elden Ring's resurgence is tempered slightly, as it shifts down from third to sixth.
Here's the latest physical top 10 in full.
Stephen has been part of the Push Square team for over six years, bringing boundless enthusiasm and a deep knowledge of video games to his role as Assistant Editor. Having grown up playing every PlayStation console to date, he's developed an eclectic taste, with particular passion for indie games, arcade racers, and puzzlers. He's also our go-to guy for Sonic-related matters, much to his delight/chagrin.
Xbox One and Series X is only responsible for 1% of Mortal Kombat 11's physical sales last week? Jeez. It should at least match their market share, which is not that low yet.
@The_Wailing_Doom Of the big three, Microsoft's player base is far and away the most digital-centric in terms of their purchasing habits. They'll unquestionably be the first to cut off physical media entirely from their console line.
Hogwarts Legacy was such a win. It's a shame they are probably going to ruining the next one with live service BS.
I know that Fighting Games sell best on Playstation but 99%? That is clinical.
Very sad not seeing FFVII Rebirth the Charts anymore.
@Ralizah @The_Wailing_Doom Wait, MK ELEVEN is the MK in the charts, and we're talking about what platform it's selling on?
@NEStalgia
Yes, because the spread is nuts.
@The_Wailing_Doom Yeah, but it's MK 11. It's kind of sad that 11, and not 1, is the one on the charts on any platform.
But, seriously, 99% of the physical sales may be on PS, but I imagine physical sales of any FG other than maybe SF6 are pretty low in general. And like Ralizah said, XB is only slightly more physical than PC at this point, considering the cheaper mass market model is all-digital (adorably.) Anecdotally I jumped back into xb with the 1x specifically to make it my all digital console while PS would remain my physical one. Then ended up really enjoying the «game juke box» of digital and re-bought my PS library digitally, anyway. But XB definitely shines most in how it handles an all digital environment. If I were recommending a console to someone that wanted only physical games, I'd never

One of Nintendo's Most Popular RPGs Originally Never Planned an North American Release
Former Nintendo employees have revealed that, despite its public announcement, Xenoblade Chronicles was originally planned to go without a North American release. Xenoblade Chronicles is one of Nintendo's most popular RPG series, with its pedigree allowing developer Monolith Soft to become one of Nintendo's most reliable first-party studios. However, none of Xenoblade's success would have been possible without the very first entry released on the Nintendo Wii all the way back in 2010.

Super Rare Nintendo DS Pops Up at Auction
An incredibly rare Nintendo DS is being auctioned off, and it could sell for over £15,000. The Nintendo DS was first released in 2004 as the successor to the Nintendo Game Boy Advance and evolved the Big N's classic handheld formula by including a second touchscreen that players could use for hit titles like The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks and Pokemon Black and White. While it was eventually phased out in favor of the upgraded Nintendo 3DS in 2011, the original Nintendo DS remains one of gaming’s most well-remembered portable systems, with several of its past exclusives being released on current hardware to this day.
