Hogwarts Legacy has reclaimed the top spot of the UK Boxed Charts this week, with a 214% spike in sales on Xbox Series X|S due to ongoing price promotions.
Avalanche Software’s title replaced last week’s No.1, Starfield, which has fallen to No.8 following an 87% decrease in sales after launch.
This week saw the release of The Crew Motorfest, which debuted at No.2 on the charts. It holds the same position as The Crew 2 when it launched in 2018.
Meanwhile, Grand Theft Auto 5 climbed the charts from No.8 to No.5 after a 2% increase in sales due to a price promotion on PS4. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga fell from No.4 to No.6 after a 29% drop, but saw a 21% sales rise on Nintendo Switch.
Fae Farm charted at No.9, the same position as its debut last week despite sales being down 12% – a healthy performance for a second week on shelves. Red Dead Redemption 2 rounded out the Top Ten, moving from No.14 to No.10 due to price promotions on Xbox One.
Elsewhere, NBA 2K24 dropped from its No.7 debut last week to No.13 with a 46% sales decrease.
Several titles re-entered the charts this week due to ongoing price reductions, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge with a 778% spike in sales, Jurassic World: Evolution 2, Street Fighter 6 and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.
