It seems that democracy is reaching more people day by day. According to GSD data published by GI.biz, we have all the sales numbers for physical and digital games in the UK. Interestingly, the report has revealed that Helldivers 2 was the best-selling video game for two consecutive months in the UK. What's more astonishing is that it dethroned Marvel's Spider-Man 2 ( review ).

According to the report, sales of the game are surpassing Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in the UK after eight weeks on the market. However, this can happen because both games are very different. Spider-Man 2's single retail price of £70 on PS5 could be a big contributing factor. On the other hand, Helldivers 2 is available on both PS5 and PC at a lower price.
While Helldivers 2 stayed on top of the hill, the month focused on the debut of the RPG giants. On one hand, there was Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, and on the other, there was Capcom's Dragon's Dogma 2 ( review ). Capcom's dragon adventure game outsold the JRPG adventure by a narrow margin. However, it is worth noting that Dragon's Dogma 2 launched near the latter half of March.
These numbers also complement how Helldivers 2 Steam activity has been steady at 200K for the month. Here is the list of the top 10 games sold in the UK, according to GSD data:
