007 First Light has taken the top spot in the UK physical sales charts, according to GfK data, overtaking EA SPORTS FC 26 after its recent hold on first place. The result marks a notable shift in a chart that has been heavily influenced by football titles in recent weeks. The James Bond title from IO Interactive has now reached No.1, pushing EA SPORTS FC 26 down the rankings despite the ongoing football season momentum and even broader real-world interest around major tournaments.
Bond breaks through the football dominance
007 First Light securing the top position is particularly notable given the usual strength of EA’s football franchise in UK retail charts. Historically, EA SPORTS FC entries tend to dominate sales periods tied to major football events and seasonal interest. This time, however, Bond has managed to cut through that pattern. The data confirms that 007 First Light is now the No.1 title, with EA SPORTS FC 26 slipping to second place after its recent stretch at the top.
Chart snapshot
The latest UK GfK chart reflects a mix of long-running franchises and new entries, with Nintendo and EA continuing to maintain multiple positions across the top 10.
