Not too long ago, it was revealed that Anthem topped the UK’s physical retail sales chart during its first week of release. Now, it appears as if the BioWare action-RPG has been able to maintain its foothold in the position, with the game taking the Number 1 spot yet again, making it the second week in a row for the title.

According to GFK Chart-Track, Anthem has fended off the competition of three new arrivals to the Top 10, with the closest being The Lego Movie 2 Videogame debuting in the Number 4 slot. The other two fresh contenders the BioWare title faced were Codemasters’ Dirt Rally 2.0 and Ubisoft’s Trials Rising: Gold Edition, with the former spending its first week at Number 6, and the latter debuting at Number 10.

Right behind Anthem on the charts is FIFA 19 at Number 2, and Far Cry: New Dawn at Number 3. The full Top 10 chart for the week can be found below.

Anthem’s sales success on the UK’s physical retail sales chart isn’t the only region in which the BioWare action-RPG has managed to scored big. As it so happens, the game almost sold out in Japan during its debut week.

Amid Anthem’s prosperity on physical sales charts, though, are myriad player reports of the title’s poor performance across its supported platforms. One of, if not the most egregious errors occurring with the title involves the PS4 experiencing full system crashes when one tries to close the application.

All things considered, it will be interesting to see just how many digital iterations of Anthem have been sold thus far as well, and if it can pull off a three-peat in regards to its Number 1 spot on the UK’s physical retail sales chart. Should BioWare manage to clear out all of the most troublesome bugs while also maintaining a steady amount of enticing content via post-launch DLC, then there’s a chance it could have some solid sales figures well into the future.

Anthem is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
