You might get a sense of déjà vu looking at the top three games in this week’s UK charts, because they’re identical to last week. Bioshock: The Collection heads the table, followed by PES 2017 and NBA 2K17. Even when we get to fourth place and the first new entry in the charts, it’s not a “new” game, but Destiny: The Collection, bundling the first two years of the game with the new Rise of Iron expansion that released last Tuesday, with the majority of DLC purchases for this surely to have been digital.
Next week’s charts promise to shake things up a bit, with games like FIFA 17, the console release of XCOM 2 and Forza Horizon 3 all hitting the shelves in the next few days.

Didn’t think BioShock had that much of a pull in the UK, let alone a remastered collection.
That said, I’ve got a feeling total game sales haven’t been huge these first few weeks of Autumn. Will definitely pick up over the next fortnight, however.

Three full length games for £30 is a bit of a bargain, it’s going to sell bucketloads

Really enjoying returning to Rapture! Three highly recommended games and really a bargain at that price.
