Welcome to another installment of Charting In The Clouds!
This is a weekly post in which we give you the top 40 selling games from the UK GFK (Growth From Knowledge) Chart and show you which ones are available to play in the cloud and on which cloud platforms and services!
Hideo Kojima has taken the chart by storm this week as Death Stranding 2: On The Beach takes the top spot. The sequel title, which has been very well received, has overtaken Mario Kart World, which drops to 2nd place.
Sadly, none of the top two titles in this week’s chart are available to play in the cloud. This, even though the original Death Stranding is widely available on several cloud gaming services.
Also coming into the top 10 on the chart this week is The Thing: Remastered from Nightdive Studios. The game launched at the end of 2024, but has made its way back into the charts once again.
Elsewhere in the chart, we also see returns for Stalker 2 and the Dark Souls Trilogy. We also have Just Dance 2025, which has done the electric slide into 34th place.
