One interesting statistic is that the game's sales in its first four weeks are 24 per cent higher than those of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which was Sony's last major all-ages title. While precise numbers are still yet to be shared, it seems the game is doing very well for itself in the UK.
We imagine it'll be a popular bundle choice for people buying PS5s for the holidays, so it'll likely be in the charts over the next couple of months as well.
Elsewhere, Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 is in second, and is currently the UK's third best-selling game of the year (behind EA Sports FC 25 and Helldivers 2). Star Wars Outlaws has less positive news; its early sales are now trending below those of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which isn't an encouraging sign.
Here's the UK's top 10 games for September 2024 (physical and digital).
- EA Sports FC 25
- Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2
- The Crew 2
- Star Wars Outlaws
- Astro Bot
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Grand Theft Auto 5
- NBA 2K25
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance
- The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom*
On the hardware side of things, GI's report also highlights the rising sales of PS5's disc drive as people prepare for PS5 Pro.
