Despite releasing in May, Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch continues to sell well in the UK. Gfk Chart-Track noted that for the week ending September 12th, Overwatch was the top selling game across all platforms. This is the fifth time it’s claimed the top spot, a feat achieved only by Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens this year.

In second place is F1 2016, followed by the more recent Deus Ex: Mankind Divided in third place. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is in fourth followed by the ever-lasting Grand Theft Auto 5.

Rocket League managed to stay in sixth place while Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is in seventh and No Man’s Sky comes in at eighth. DOOM is at ninth place with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 rounding out the list at tenth.

With ReCore out tomorrow and Destiny: Rise of Iron coming next week, it remains to be seen if either can knock Overwatch from its top spot. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.
