New release WWE 2K24 was the best-selling physical game in the UK last week, knocking Final Fantasy VII Rebirth into second. The PS5 JRPG registered an 89 per cent drop in sales compared to its launch week while 2K's newest wrestling entry has debuted better than last year's instalment, with purchases up 26 per cent.
Gran Turismo 7, Hitman World of Assassination, The Crew, and more are discounted for a limited time.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Games can challenge you in many ways, from your reflexes, to your precision, or your ability to remember random information, but Strategy games are all about just that: planning and strategic thinking. That comes in many forms, from turn-based to real-time, and 2D to 3D, and it's probably the genre that blurs those lines the most. This year's nominees reflect that: classic RTS' are represented by Age of Mythology: Retold; the tactical RPG genre by Unicorn Overlord; turn-based, city-builder survival games by Frostpunk 2; and then age old card games are represented with a twist by surprise hit Balatro."
VGChartz's Chinh Tran: "As these games wrestled, jostled, and brawled to stand out in an increasingly crowded space, gamers had no shortage of options when it came to fighters. Bandai Namco took the Budokai Tenkaichi series to new heights with the release of Dragon Ball: Sparkling! Zero. The same company also unleashed Tekken 8, continuing the series' intense combat mechanics for gamers to master. Arc System Works gave us one final installment of the Under Night In-Birth series, in the form of [Sys: Celes]. And finally 2K Games gave wrestling fans WWE 2K24, which further refined the long-running series' mechanics."
