UK Charts: Resident Evil Requiem Gobbles A Herb And Is Back On Top
Resident Evil Requiem has returned to the top of the UK physical games charts, according to the latest boxed sales data. The Capcom title secured the number one position after a period away from the top, demonstrating strong consumer demand for the survival horror franchise.
The week’s chart results show relatively modest movement, with few major new entries across the surveyed platforms. PlayStation 5 and PC saw the introduction of two new titles: Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls debuted at number 6 on both platforms, while Game Freak’s Beast of Reincarnation entered at number 5 across PS5, PC, and Xbox.
Behind Resident Evil Requiem’s return to the top position are two other established titles: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and Pokémon Pokopia. Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 saw no major new releases enter the charts this week, suggesting a relatively quiet period for physical game availability on Nintendo’s platforms.
The data reflects the ongoing health of both established franchises and platform-specific libraries across the gaming landscape. Resident Evil Requiem’s ability to reclaim the top spot indicates sustained interest in the horror franchise, while the relatively stable chart positions of other titles suggest a degree of market consistency during this particular sales week.
