Despite criticism, Saints Row reboot tops UK sales chart

Saints Row was relaunched last week.

Critics and gamers received the game coolly due to its secondary character, outdated gameplay design and a huge number of technical errors.

Despite this, the new project from Volition received a high interest in the UK, where it took first place in the sales chart for the last week.
The second place was taken by the constant leader of the British action game chart - Horizon Forbidden West.

The top 10 most popular UK retail games for August 21-27 looks like this:

• Saints Row;
• Horizon Forbidden West;
• Nintendo Switch Sports;
• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe;
• Animal Crossing: New Horizons;
• Pokemon Legends: Arceus;
• Minecraft;
• Gran Turismo 7;
• Grand Theft Auto V;
• LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

Saints Row is no.1 in the UK physical charts. Which is not a big surprise. It's hard to compare to previous SR titles because of the rise of digital over the last 5 years. It did sell nearly 5x better then Agents of Mayhem at launch
