007 First Light Is the UK's Best-Seller as Summer Slows
It is a slow stretch for new games, which is exactly when a strong title gets to dominate. In the latest UK retail chart, for the week ending June 20, IO Interactive's 007 First Light sat at number one, ahead of EA Sports FC 26. The James Bond game from the studio behind Hitman has been one of 2026's steadier sellers, and a quiet summer release schedule let it climb back to the top rather than getting buried under bigger launches.
The rest of the chart reads like a snapshot of a market between blockbusters. Cyberpunk 2077 jumped back up the rankings on the strength of a discounted ultimate edition, years after its rocky launch became a redemption story. Mario Kart World held in the top ten, carried by Switch 2 momentum. The only genuinely new entries were a fresh EA Sports UFC and a smaller title, which tells you how thin the week was. In a packed month, 007 First Light would be fighting for fifth. In this one, it is the story.
