F1 2020 Debuts on Top of UK Charts

Codemasters’ F1 2020 has entered the UK charts for boxed video game sales last week (via GamesIndustry) in the No. 1 position, with physical sales being up 22 per cent over F1 2019’s launch sales. This is the biggest launch for an F1 game since 2017. This means that The Last of Us Part 2, which has been in the top spot since its launch, is finally off the top. In fact, it drops down to third place, while Animal Crossing: New Horizons overtakes it to claim second place.

Marvel’s Iron Man VR enjoyed a strong debut last week, when it entered the charts in second place, and now sees a drop to No. 9, following a 75 per cent week-over-week drop in sales. Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise was another new release last week, but the Switch exclusive doesn’t chart in the top 10 (or the 20), coming in at No. 32.

The rest of the top 10 has a lot of games we’re used to seeing on these weekly charts, including the likes of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (which has re-entered the top 10 following a surge in sales over last week), GTA 5, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and Minecraft.
