Resident Evil Requiem Climbs Back to Number One in the UK Charts

Resident Evil Requiem has reclaimed the top spot in the UK boxed charts this week, jumping past Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and Pokémon Pokopia in a relatively quiet week for new releases.

The chart had two new entries worth noting: Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls debuted at number 6 on PS5 and PC, while Game Freak's Beast of Reincarnation landed at number 5 across PS5, PC, and Xbox. Neither Switch 1 nor Switch 2 picked up any notable new entries this week. Requiem's climb to the top is a little puzzling — retailers are selling it for roughly £10 below RRP, but there are no major discounts or obvious promotions that clearly explain the sales bump.

Resident Evil Requiem is the latest mainline entry in Capcom's long-running survival horror series, and its return to number one suggests steady word-of-mouth momentum rather than a single promotional push. The UK boxed chart reflects physical retail sales only, so digital numbers could paint a different picture of how each title is actually performing overall.

With no big Switch releases shaking things up this week, the chart is largely holding its shape from the previous week. Whether Requiem can hold the top spot depends on what hits shelves in the coming weeks.
