UK Charts: 007 First Light Leaves The Competition Shaken
007 First Light has claimed the top spot on the UK physical games chart in its debut week, dethroning LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. The James Bond video game has become the second biggest physical launch of 2026 in the UK, according to industry analyst Chris Dring, with 1.5 million copies sold globally within its first 24 hours.
The physical sales breakdown reveals PlayStation 5’s dominance, accounting for 86% of UK physical sales for the title. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight dropped to second place on the chart, while other releases saw significant movement. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book fell to sixth place in its second week, and last month’s chart leader, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, has dropped out of the top 40 entirely.
Both 007 First Light and LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight are confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2, though release dates remain unannounced. The reported figures are based on physical sales data only, though the data is expected to align with overall sales trends. Resident Evil Requiem currently holds the position of the UK’s biggest physical launch of 2026.
