EA’s annual football series will be stepping into a new era when its 2023 instalment launches under the new name of EA Sports FC, but last year’s instalment, FIFA 23, is still going strong in the UK. As per data released by the Gfk for weekly physical software sales in the UK (via GamesIndustry), FIFA 23 has climbed back to the top of the charts, having spent the last few weeks in second place, thanks to a 27% boost in sales.
Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 remake, which topped the previous two weekly charts, has fallen to No. 2 with a 55% drop in sales. Meanwhile, Hogwarts Legacy hands on to its place at No. 3, with sales down only 5% from last week.
