Metal Gear Solid Delta Swept Away Competitors, While Gears of War Surprised with PS5 Release. UK Top Sales

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater topped the latest British sales chart for physical copies of games, surpassing competitors and becoming an unexpected leader of the week.

At the same time, Gears of War: Reloaded also broke into the top ten, but only the PS5 version made it into the top sales. The absence of a physical edition on Xbox surprised players.

1. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
2. Mario Kart World
3. Gears of War: Reloaded
4. Hogwarts Legacy
5. EA Sports FC 25

Mario Kart World held the second position, Donkey Kong Bananza dropped to sixth place, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land started from seventh place - 85% of sales came from Switch 2. 

Hogwarts Legacy and EA Sports FC 25 continue to stay in the top due to multi-platform coverage. And Shinobi: Art of Vengeance showed a weak start, taking only 21st place.

Statistics demonstrate that loud remakes and exclusive editions significantly influence the market in the UK.
