EA Sports FC 24 found its way back to the top of the UK charts this Black Friday week, pushing Hogwarts Legacy down to No.2.
The post-FIFA title saw a 101% increase in sales, most of which were on PS5. This comes as Black Friday physical game sales in the UK are 7% higher than last year’s event, GfK reported.
Meanwhile, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is at No.3 this week following a 30% drop in sales, followed by Super Mario Bros Wonder at No.4 and Spider-Man 2 at No.5 – both experiencing a slight sales increase.
Black Friday discounts benefited many titles this week on the UK physical charts, including Star Wars Jedi: Survivor which jumped from No.32 to No.10 after experiencing a 400% rise in sales.
God of War Ragnarok made it into the Top 20 at No.18 after experiencing a 102% spike in sales, while Resident Evil 4 took its previous spot at No.22 after ranking at No.36 last week.
Elsewhere, more retailer promotions helped bring several titles back into the charts, such as F1 23 which saw a 302% sales increase. Street Fighter 6, Diablo 4, Stray, WWE 2K23, Lego Harry Potter Collection, and Just Dance 2023 also benefited from Black Friday deals.
