Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced debuted at number one on the latest UK boxed charts compiled by market analyst GfK after its release on 9 July.

The Ubisoft remake led physical retail sales in its opening week, with publisher data confirming the title has sold more than 2 million copies since launch.

Within the boxed market, the PlayStation 5 accounted for the vast majority of physical sales for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, representing approximately 84% of the boxed units; Xbox made up roughly 15% and PC around 1%, reflecting the increasingly digital nature of non-console retail for the latter platforms.

Those figures reflect boxed-store share only and do not represent total digital sales across storefronts.

Ubisoft's sales confirmation—more than 2 million copies sold—underscores a strong commercial start for the remake.

The game's rapid entry to the top of the UK boxed chart is a clear retail milestone for the franchise's latest re-release.

007 First Light held steady at number two on the same chart.

Star Fox remained within the top ten, placed at number nine, with the Switch family (Nintendo Switch and Switch 2) contributing the majority of boxed sales for that title; PlayStation 5 boxed sales accounted for roughly 5% in that case.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger re-entered the top 40 at number 29 following its launch on Nintendo platforms, with boxed-sales split closely between Switch and Switch 2.

The full GfK top 40 highlights several notable platform splits for recent releases: Resident Evil Requiem showed a strong PC boxed share at about 50%, while Pokémon Legends: Z-A demonstrated a majority for Switch 2 in its boxed sales split.

Other perennial sellers—including Grand Theft Auto V, Minecraft and titles across Nintendo platforms—continued to occupy the mid-to-upper chart positions.

GfK's weekly boxed charts remain a useful snapshot of physical retail performance in the UK, especially for platform-specific trends such as strong PS5 boxed demand for certain third-party releases and the dominant role of Nintendo hardware for first-party and Switch-family titles.

The boxed chart data was compiled and released by GfK.

Publishers and platform holders typically supplement these retail figures with digital sales numbers in their own reporting, which are not captured in the physical boxed rankings.
