Horizon Forbidden West returns to UK number one – Games charts 20 August-GameCentral-Entertainment – Metro

A good sign that the PS5 is still in stock (pic: Sony)

In its second week, Two Point Campus has fallen straight out of the UK sales top 10, as Saints Row prepares to make its mark.

Given how few new releases there’s been lately it’s no surprise to find the UK physical sales chart stuck in amber, but at least Horizon Forbidden West at number one is confirmation that stock of the PlayStation 5 console continues to hold.

There was one new entry this week, with Madden NFL 23 at number 18, but that’s all until next week and the release of the Saints Row reboot.

Saints Row’s critical reception has not been good but given how slow the charts are at the moment it still shouldn’t have much trouble getting to number one.
