FIFA 19 tops Red Dead Redemption 2 as fastest selling UK game in 2018

EA Sports' iconic football title has retained its position despite competition from the Rockstar Games sequel

FIFA 19 has managed to retain its crown as the fastest-selling game in the UK this year despite a strong attempt from the highly-anticipated Red Dead Redemption 2 from Rockstar Games.

It has been eight years since the makers of Grand Theft Auto released the first Western action-adventure game. The original was a smash hit, making the long-awaited sequel one of the biggest releases of the year.

Red Dead Redemption 2 still sold admirably, doubling the sales of its predecessor and comfortably beating rival Call of Duty Black Ops 4 in its opening week.
