Not going anywhere (pic: WB Games)



To the surprise of no one, Hogwarts Legacy is still the best-selling game in the UK, with no new entries in the top 10 to dislodge it.



Considering it’s the fastest selling video game, that isn’t FIFA or Call Of Duty, since Red Dead Redemption 2, it’s no surprise to find that Hogwarts Legacy is still lodged firmly at the top of the UK sales charts.



It saw a 66% drop in sales in its second week, which is pretty good for a big name title and suggests the game is going to stay in the top 10 for a long time to come.



Despite what it looks like, it was actually a fairly busy week for new releases, with music game Theatrhythm Final Bar Line the most successful with a debut at number 16, followed by Tales Of Symphonia Remastered at 17 and EA’s Wild Hearts at 26. Like A Dragon: Ishin! didn’t chart at all in the top 40.
