God of War Ragnarok Maintains Top Spot in UK Physical Charts

God of War Ragnarok has held on to its number one position in the UK's first physical game charts of 2023. The game, developed by Sony Santa Monica, ended 2022 at the top and is continuing its strong performance into the new year, despite a 36% decline in sales. The top ten remains largely unchanged, with FIFA 23 retaining its second place despite a 49% drop in sales. The lack of new releases led to a quiet week at retail, resulting in a 47% decrease in physical unit sales across the market. This follows a 52% decline the previous week. In 2022, UK game sales saw a 6% decline, while console sales plummeted by 29%. More information can be found in the UK Annual Report.
