The latest PC UK retail and Steam digital charts have been revealed and as we can see, The Evil Within and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel are this week’s best selling PC titles.
Surprisingly enough, Shinji Mikami’s latest horror game has surpassed The Sims 4 in UK. The Evil Within is at the top of the UK charts, followed by The Sims 4, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Alien: Isolation. Freshly released F1 2014 is in sixth place, followed by FIFA 15, NBA 2K15, ROME: Total War II Emperor’s Edition and Diablo III.
While Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel did not claim the throne in UK, it did manage to hit the jackpot on Steam. Gearbox’s title was the best selling game on Valve’s digital platform service, followed by Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth and PAYDAY 2. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was in fifth place, whereas Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Season Pass and Alien: Isolation were in sixth and seventh places, respectively. And in the last three places we find The Evil Within, Tomb Raider and Crusader Kings II: Charlemagne.

Wow, even PC users like film games, maybe the mods removing the silly borders and frame-rate lock made it sell better? I wouldn’t buy a game with such silly restrictions and yes they are restrictions because no one in their right mind would make a game this way, oh wait, glad The Order 1886 isn’t coming to PC with this crap.
The Order 1886? would sell very well at Steam. Hoping a Ryse like release delay…just hoping….
Ryse only came to PC because it failed with low sales on the XB1 and Ryse will probably sell well because it makes a nice PC benchmark.
With how rapidly Sony is going out of business The Order will probably be on Steam by 2016 when they chuck all their franchises out to publishers like Nordic Games and Deep Silver.
I don’t believe Sony will go out of business but they sure are bleeding money right now.
i have to inform you of a peasant that goes around spreading missinfomration on pc and gloriously troling
His name is TIPCP.
find his page in google plus and laugh your a*s off.
Whole Japan public debt/GDP ratio raised to 255%. Sony is not going out of business just yet and as long as Sony has a PS they will never give up theirs titles! It is simple as that.
PC gamers often very much stupidly complaint about everything they are not happy about towards consoles. But much more constructive would be try to fix it that platform that has enough its own problems! And consoles have nothing to do with majority of them.
Japan doesn’t even care about Sony any more and the government already said they won’t get bailed out.
And consoles cause most of the problems on PC like developers intentionally holding back PC games because consoles can’t keep up.
So please, don’t talk nonsense.
Yeah that sound about right!
+1, I dident gave them a cent, and no thanks to sh*tty developers the mod scene allready fixed it fast enough, so I will deal with this Within game without crappy black boarders and a cramped fov thanks to Widescreen Fixer 🙂
Hell yeah, we pc gamers can live without that crap order 1886, one more souless corridor shooter :/
But the Sony fanboys are all over it, and that Bloodbourne seems to be the same S**t!
Well those peasants can gladely keep those crappy games!
> maybe the mods removing the silly borders and frame-rate lock made it sell better?
I doubt it. In the end, we’re only the vocal minority. Most people don’t visit news sites, don’t have an opinion on bad PC ports, and simply buy it.
sad but true
its the only survival horror game in a long time, no one likes the film crap, if anything it confirmed that i couldnt possibly play the order 1886.
Anyway evil within doesnt worth 70 bucks but its ok at 40$
I loved Evil Within. Yep, locked FPS is a major issue(solved some hours after its release), but as for cinematic view, gameplay, story loved it all.
my score: 89!
NOT 100? pfffff not good enough, to the trash bin 😛
hahaha…never a 100 score game at life. Maybe Half Life 2 !
Nah, HL series is one of my all time favourites, but it’s not a 100 (well in my heart it is :P)
Everything latelly goes to 75 on metacirtic.
bad games or next gen standards?
honestly i couldnt take the black bars after using the mods, the only major issue was the framerate but didnt stop me from enjoyign the survival horror of the game.
Theres a code from bethesda to unlock it. Running 60FPS locked here now!
i wonder how many retail copies they sell in UK. all of the games releasing on digital stores and people buying them from steam etc… i guess #1 in retail stores means 5 or 10 copies ?
Civ doing very well, people pre ordering Civ for months now and it’s on top 10 since then, good news.
I was thinking the same thing. Didnt someone reveal that retail sales where only 10% of PC software sales not too long ago?
Its a current week only! You always find people who just wanna play that and buy it regardless anything else. This reflects those people. Many more will buy those games in sales!
