f1 2018

Crash Bandicoot: N.Sane Trilogy‘s reign at the top has come to an end at last, with Codemasters’ F1 2018 having knocked it off its lofty perch. Gfk-Tracker reports that last week, F1 2018 was the highest selling game in the UK, followed by Shenmue 1 & 2 HD– which shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. The UK always had a fondness for Sega (indeed, even as Sega struggled in the US and Japan with the Master System, in the UK they were the dominant console).

On the individual formats chart as well, F1 breaks Mario Kart 8 Deluxe‘s streak, with the PS4 and Xbox One versions each taking the top two spots respectively.

Back on the all formats chart, Crash takes third place this week instead, with GTA 5 being moved down to fourth place, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe rounding out the top five. God of War, Call of Duty: WW2, FIFA 18, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Super Mario Odyssey, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild all continue to leg it out as well in the top 20.

You can see the full charts below.
