As we quickly approach the holiday season, the UK’s physical games chart is looking about as predictable as you can imagine — save for one new entry.
Black Myth: Wukong launched to retail on 12th December, and it’s managed to secure a debut position of 7th place.
That’s not too shabby considering the game has been available digitally since August, and that the remainder of the top 10 is made up of consistently popular software.
The top three is particularly predictable; first is EA Sports FC 25, followed by Hogwarts Legacy and then Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. It’ll be one of these three that’ll snag the Christmas number one.
The remainder of the top 10 is quite Nintendo-heavy, which is no surprise. As well as Wukong, we have Sonic X Shadow Generations in ninth, down a couple of places from last week.
Hovering just outside the top 10 are a couple of PS5 exclusives; Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Astro Bot are in 11th and 12th respectively.
Here’s the latest top 10 in full (physical sales only).
