Following theofficial launchofUncharted: The Lost Legacy, Naughty Dog’s action-adventure title has not only been received well by a large amount of critics, but also it seems as if the public has been eager to pick up the game. As it so happens, the standalone sequel in the third-person shooter and platformer series has managed to top the sales charts in the UK during its first week of availability on the market.
Interestingly enough,Uncharted: The Lost Legacy’s debut in the number one slot on the UK sales charts dethrones the long-standing champion of the fellow PS4 releaseCrash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, with the latter dropping to the third spot on the list. However, the Naughty Dog title’s sales superiority didn’t come without some other fresh competition, as Codemasters' racing gameF1 2017was nipping atThe Lost Legacy’s heels to come in second place for the week.
Aside fromUncharted: The Lost Legacyand the other aforementioned titles, the UK sales charts also saw a newcomer inMadden NFL 18as the fourth highest-selling game for the week. The rest of the titles on the list, though, have been available for quite a while at this point, with releases like Rockstar Games' open world crime titleGrand Theft Auto 5and Bethesda’s post-apocalypticFallout 4maintaining footholds on the charts. Interested parties can find the top 10 best-selling UK games for the week in full below.
WhileUncharted: The Lost Legacyhas a decent shot at retaining the sales crown for the second week in a row, it has stiff competition in tomorrow’s release of Ubisoft’s Nintendo Switch-exclusiveMario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, which will officially be the first new title from the Mario universe starring the Big N’s de facto mascot on the company’s latest console. With this being the case, it’s quite possible that the power of Mario’s world renowned likeness will assist Nintendo in oustingUncharted: The Lost Legacyfrom its pole position on the charts.
