GFK Entertainment, the well-known German market research company, announced the best-selling physical games in the UK for the first week of October. EA Sports FC 24, the new edition of the best-selling game formerly known as FIFA, reigned as the top-selling game for the second week.
The latest game in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and the new Pokémon game Detective Pikachu Returns debuted in second and third place, respectively, but their numbers were not enough to take down FC 24.
