UK Sales Charts: Indie Hit Stray Struts into Third with Physical PS5 Release

For the first time in about a month, Horizon Forbidden West isn’t the UK’s best-selling physical PS5 game. That honour belongs to Stray, the sci-fi adventure game about a domestic cat in a cyber-city that won hearts earlier this year. With the arrival of its boxed release, the game has pounced on a number three debut, which is a great result for a relatively small title.

Aloy’s big cross-gen sequel moves down from second to eighth, its biggest dip in quite a while. The Last of Us: Part I is also on the decline, moving from 10th to 12th. Elsewhere, Grand Theft Auto V is right back in the mix, moving up from ninth to fifth. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is bouncing back too, up from 18th to 10th. Finally, new release The Diofield Chronicle hasn’t debuted particularly strongly, arriving in 17th position.

Here’s the latest top 10 in full.
