UK physical sales of Resident Evil Requiem on the Nintendo Switch 2 were not large, according to UK journalist Christopher Dring.

The PS5 had a decent November in the UK, despite a 29% decline compared to the previous year, with Black Friday sales boosting its market share to 62%.

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.
