Capcom's Resident Evil Requiem dominates the UK physical charts on PS5, pulling multiple Resident Evil titles into the top 10 and underscoring a resurgence for the series, with Monster Hunter Wilds also in the mix.
UK physical sales of Resident Evil Requiem on the Nintendo Switch 2 were not large, according to UK journalist Christopher Dring. The game sold more in its first week than Mario Tennis Fever and is broadly in line with Cyberpunk 2077’s physical performance last year, but third‑party Switch 2 titles appear slow in the UK, suggesting many players may still prefer digital downloads in the market.

Helldivers 2 for PS5 and PC is performing impressively in the UK, with sales just 28% lower than Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 in its first three weeks, and with sales increasing week-on-week, defying the usual trend of declining numbers after launch.

Helldivers 2 currently holds the top spot in the UK sales charts for February 2024.
