The 43rd week of the year has come and gone and surprising absolutely no one, Red Dead Redemption 2 has taken hold of the top spot on the UK sales chart for the week.
Red Dead Redemption 2 hasn't just now surpassed Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 for the number one position, it also debuts as Rockstar's strongest release of this console generation. That's unsurprising considering their only other major release, Grand Theft Auto V, was previously on Xbox 360 and PS3. Additionally, 68% of copies bought for Red Dead Redemption 2 were purchased on PS4.
According to GamesIndustry.biz, Red Dead Redemption 2 is also now the second fastest-selling game of the year in the UK losing out to only FIFA 19. It has also become the third-fastest selling non-FIFA game to release this generation only coming in behind Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Call of Duty: Black Ops III. With these numbers in mind, I'm really interested in seeing how it performed here in the United States.
As for other entries on the list this week, Black Ops 4 and FIFA 19 each moved down one spot to second and third respectively. Forza Horizon 4 actually found itself jumping up one spot this week into fourth while Assassin's Creed Odyssey dropped down to the number 5 spot.
Check out the full top-40 list for last week below.
