Pokémon Legends: Arceus has remained in first place on the UK retail charts, according to GfK for the week ending February 5, 2022. Sales for the game fell 72 percent in its second week. This compares to Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl that had a 61 percent drop.
Dying Light 2 debuted in second place with sales just below Pokémon Legends: Arceus. It should be noted the game likely had a strong digital ratio and digital sales aren't included in this chart. It did well in its opening week on Steam.
