Battlefield Hardline fends off challenge of Bloodborne in UK chart

PS4 exclusive misses out on top spot by 22,500 sales.

Multiplatform first-person shooter Battlefield Hardline fended off the challenge of PlayStation 4 exclusive Bloodborne in this week's UK chart.

EA's shooter enjoyed impressive second week sales to hold on to the number one spot. As UK tracker Chart-Track noted, Battlefield 4 had a better launch week than Battlefield Hardline, but Battlefield Hardline had a better second week than its predecessor, with physical sales dropping off by 43 per cent.

From Software's Bloodborne, then, misses out on being the UK's all-formats number one by 22,500 units, but it's number one in the single format chart.

2K's current-gen remaster Borderlands: The Handsome Jack Collection debuted in third place.

The only other new entry to make the top 40 this week is PQube's Ride, which arrived at number 25 after releasing on PC, PS4 and PS3.

Here's the top 10:

  1. Battlefield Hardline
  2. Bloodborne
  3. Borderlands: The Handsome Collection
  4. Grand Theft Auto 5
  5. FIFA 15
  6. Dying Light
  7. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
  8. Far Cry 4
  9. Minecraft: Xbox Edition
  10. The Order: 1886
