Hardware bundles with the PS5 have pushed Horizon Forbidden West to the top of the UK sales chart, as Live A Live makes its debut.
The summer games drought continues but there is a new number one in the UK physical sales top 10, or at least a game that hasn’t been number one for a while now.
Horizon Forbidden West was first released in February but is number one again thanks to being bundled with the PlayStation 5 console.
The only actual new release at retail in the UK is Live A Live at number six. It sold 30% less than previous HD-2D game Triangle Strategy, but since it’s a remake of an obscure SNES game that actually seems a perfectly good performance.
