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

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.

game gone up in 2nd week?, thats a turn up for the books

Don't expect that to last. I believe all of the physical copies of HD2 are sold out as they didn't think it would sell as well as it did. In fact, it probably would have done more if there was stock.

Skull n Bones was 4th. Helldivers was 7th.

And Helldivers increased sales. I guess S&B is doing well in spite of the vitriol.

Because it's a big name title from a big studio. What else released. Legend of school steel 3 and 4 for ps5. While legend of heroes is my cup of tea it was never gonna outsell skull and bones. Shame though. They put their hearts into legend of heroes games.

Genuinely surprised mario V danky Kong got 1st

I saw the list and had to double take when I saw people in the comments mention it, because I just didn't see it at first

shinoff218378d ago

Why though it's a Nintendo first party game. Nostalgia alone would make it a top seller. Then all the parents buying it for their kids like look kids this is what we grew up with, etc.

From a business standpoint I can understand why they did that…but man, he stood up for the community and thats huge.

SeraphTeran1d 16h ago

He did! There is an entire Reddit thread now where many are thanking him for his help in Sony controversy. Hope he lands on his feet!

Title "seemingly fired after controversy"
Preview text "he seems to be in the clear but demoted"

XiNatsuDragnel1d 12h ago

He did an amazing job and I hope he lands somewhere good too. He's a hero someone who cared about gamers.

Standing up for his own company from a bigger company then gets demoted for doing his job as a community manager. At least he's still employed.

I hope Sony doesn't buy Arrowhead. They need to let them be. No corporate medlings and docking someone's pay for standing up form the ppl.

Wtf is going on with these companies?
