Update: The full top 10 best-selling physical titles in the UK for the week ending July 1st have now been revealed, courtesy of GamesIndustry. Check out the charts below.

Original Story:

Gfk’s UK physical sales charts aren’t available yet, but some stats are available courtesy of GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring. He revealed on Twitter that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is back at the top spot, unseating Final Fantasy 16.

Physical sales for the Nintendo Switch title are up 18 percent, while Final Fantasy 16’s sales dropped by 78 percent. The latter saw a weaker opening in the UK than Final Fantasy 15, though it was ahead of Dead Island 2 and Diablo 4. Square Enix has since announced over three million worldwide shipments and digital sales in the RPG’s launch week.

Among the new titles debuting is AEW: Fight Forever, which entered the charts in third place and sold 40 percent less than WWE 2K23. Not terrible, considering it’s the first officially licensed title from All Elite Wrestling. Meanwhile, Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life debuted in seventh place.
