UK Charts: Hideo Kojima’s Latest Project Leaves Mario Kart World Stranded In 2nd
By The latest UK Charts are here, and perhaps unsurprisingly, Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding 2: On The Beach has comfortably landed at number one following its debut, pushing Mario Kart World down to second place for the first time.
Interestingly, however, it seems physical sales for DS2 are down 66% when compared to the first game, according to The Game Business’ Chris Dring. It’s a much different world we live in now, of course, so it’s likely that there are simply far more digital sales this time around.
Elsewhere, Nightdive Studios’ excellent The Thing: Remastered made its charts debut at number seven following its recent physical release, and if you’ve not checked out that game yet, we’d highly recommend doing so. The physical sold way better on the PS5, admittedly, which isn’t entirely surprising given that it benefits from a buttery-smooth 120fps on Sony’s platform.
Here’s a look at the full top 40 for this week, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles as well as the Switch and Switch 2:
