Mario Kart 8 Deluxe holds off Prey in UK game chart

For the Gods.

Prey has debuted in the UK game chart in second place.

Arkane's sci-fi adventure, which came out last Friday, sits behind Nintendo Switch racer Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which enjoys a second week at number one.

Chart-Track records physical game sales only, so the bulk of its data relates to console sales. In the case of Prey, that's PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. SteamSpy, an unofficial but useful resource for Steam game sales, pegs Prey at around 100,000 owners.

Elsewhere, it was a quiet week for new releases. Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy entered the chart at 31, but this is physical sales we're talking about. The bulk of Telltale's success comes from downloads.
