FIFA 21 retains the number one spot
Another very quiet release week has seen Electronic Arts’ football simulatorFIFA 21retain the top spot of the UK Charts, despite a huge week-on-week drop in physical sales of around 50%.
A lack of major launches – along with the continued slump in physical sales across the board – results in a stagnant chart listing, which sees Square Enix’sMarvel’s Avengers, Take 2’sGrand Theft Auto V, and Activision’sCrash Bandicoot 4jostle for position against a string of Nintendo Switch mainstays, includingAnimal Crossing: New Horizons,Mario Kart 8 Deluxe,Ring Fit Adventure, andSuper Mario 3D All-Stars.
Next month will most definitely switch things up, as the gaming industry launches an entirely new generation of hardware. Accompanying that will also be a run of major releases, including Ubisoft’sWatch Dogs: Legion, Activision’sCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and Nintendo’sPikmin 3Switch port, among others. With the holiday season approaching, the stage is set for a major chart shakeup.
