Sony’s games tend to perform very well when it comes to physical copies — so long as people can also buy the console. We’ve seen this several times with the UK’s boxed bestsellers; if PS5 stock is available, its games will almost immediately float up to the top 10. The platform holder has struggled to keep supply consistent, though, which means the games also move up and down regularly.
In the latest chart, we’re on an upswing — Gran Turismo 7 and Horizon Forbidden West are back in the fight, sitting in third and fourth respectively. Both games sell almost all their units with the PS5 version, with the PS4 SKUs only counting for nine per cent of sales.
Elsewhere, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has finally been dethroned, moving into second place. Elden Ring is still hovering around the lower end, currently in seventh, while GTA 5 refuses to go away, sitting steady in eighth. WWE 2K22 sees a drop from fifth to 11th, and FIFA 22 sees a similar decline, moving from second to 13th. It’s possible this is related to the PS Plus games for May, which include the football sim.
Here’s the latest top 10 in full.
