UK BOXED GAME CHARTS TOP 10

The UK Boxed Game Chart represents the top best-selling games at retail in the UK, and FIFA is predictably leading sales.

It’s not all good news for EA, though, as once again, physical sales of FIFA 22 have dropped 35% compared to FIFA 21, and last year FIFA 21 was down 42% on FIFA 20 boxed sales.

The downward trend of boxed sales continues with Ubisoft’s Far Cry 6 seeing a 70% drop compared to Far Cry 5

Perhaps it should not be all that surprising as the coronavirus pandemic and worldwide lockdowns last year saw digital video game sales outperform physical sales for the first time in history.

It’s not all bad news, though, as Metroid Dread became the fastest-selling Metroid game ever in the UK.

It only missed out on Metroid Prime’s physical sales record by fewer than 1,000 copies.

The UK Boxed Chart Top 10:

1. FIFA 22 (EA Sports)
2. Far Cry 6 (Ubisoft)
3. Metroid Dread (Nintendo)
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Nintendo)
5. Alan Wake Remastered (Epic Games)
6. Minecraft (Xbox Game Studios)
7. Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Nintendo)
8. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania (SEGA)
9. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury (Nintendo)
10. Grand Theft Auto V (Rockstar)
