Official sales figures are yet to be released, but it was previously confirmed that the game has set similar records in other territories, selling faster than any other title this year.
"It's great to see Final Fantasy XIII hitting the top of the UK charts and setting the pace as the fastest-selling game of the year," said UK marketing director Jon Brooke.
"With high profile TV spots playing out beyond Easter and branded buses still travelling the country I'm positive this title is only going to get bigger and bigger."
The RPG has shipped 5 million units worldwide since it was released last week. The series as a whole has shipped 96 million units since the first game arrived on consoles over two decades ago.
