The latest boxed video game charts are now in from the biggest gaming market in Europe, the United Kingdom. Last week’s No.1, EA’s remake of Dead Space, has slipped to No.3 and popular football game FIFA 23 has returned to the top spot this week. Sadly Fire Emblem Engage has slipped out of the top ten altogether and is now at No.16 in the charts. The new Spongebob Squarepants 3D platformer, Spongebob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake, entered the charts at No.10 this week. Here’s the GfK UK Boxed Top Ten for the week ending 4th February, 2023:
| Last Week | This Week | Title |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 1 | FIFA 23 |
| 3 | 2 | God of War Ragnarok |
| 1 | 3 | Dead Space |
| 5 | 4 | Mario Kart 8: Deluxe |
| 6 | 5 | Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 |
| 8 | 6 | Nintendo Switch Sports |
| 10 | 7 | Minecraft (Switch) |
| 11 | 8 | Grad Theft Auto 5 |
| 9 | 9 | Pokémon Violet |
| New Entry | 11 | Spongebob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake |
Surprising to see Fire Emblem Engage disappear from the chart. I thought it continued to have strong legs but I guess the general public aren’t too impressed with it.
Also I think the Vtuber Artist/Censorship controversy didn’t help either. >.>
