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.

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

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.

The illuminates have been coming since the game released and I'm already bored with the faction.

If people keep giving up on the Dark Fluid missions, then we’ll never even manage to blow up Meridia…

No irreversible destruction = No alien attention

It’s doable just need to use stuff we normally don’t use as much. Spawn points could be better but not impossible

The arc thrower is my go-to to keep them off the drill.

I hope they make the illuminate a little less apple iPod and a little more Protos-like .

In the OG Helldivers, I sometimes felt like I’m shooting at Apple products.
