FIFA 20 has retaken the top spot in the UK charts for boxed video game sales last week, sitting in a position it is very familiar with. Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which topped charts last week and has all around been selling very well worldwide since its launch, has been pushed own to the fourth spot. Last week saw a drop in total software sales in the UK over the week before that, but the total of over 200,000 boxed video game sales across the week is still a very strong figure, driven by spikes in console sales for the PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch (via GamesIndutry).

In second place is Animal Crossing: New Horizons, pushing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare down to third place, and the former isn’t the only Nintendo Switch exclusives in the top 10. Perennial performers Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (No. 7), Luigi’s Mansion 3 (No. 9), and Ring Fit Adventure (No. 10) all figure in the charts as well.

Meanwhile, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order at fifth place, Grand Theft Auto 5 just behind it at No. 6, and Resident Evil 3 in the eighth spot make up the rest of the top 10.

To no one’s surprise, Final Fantasy 7 Remake topped the UK charts for boxed video game sales in the week ending April 11, as we reported yesterday (via GamesIndustry). The game sold half as many physical copies as Final Fantasy 15 when it launched in December 2016, though not only is that down to most physical stores in the UK being closed due to a government-ordered lockdown, it’s also worth noting that Final Fantasy 15 launched during the Christmas period.

Physical sales in the UK on the whole, however, seem to be on the up. Over a million copies of games have been sold in the UK since the lockdown began, while if you include the week before that, the number goes up to 1.5 million, with Animal Crossing: New Horizons having had a big hand in that. Year-on-year physical sales are up 3 per cent, while sales this week are up 2 per cent over last week.

Resident Evil 3, which debuted in second place last week, has fallen down to No. 7, seeing a 78 per cent drop in sales. Meanwhile, curiously enough, The Last of Us Remastered re-entered the top 10. You can check out the full top 10 below.

The UK charts for last week’s boxed video game sales are in (via Push Square), and a couple of major new releases have debuted in the top 5. Resident Evil 3, Capcom’s newest survival horror remake, takes the second spot, in spite of retail shortages in Europe, while Persona 5 Royal comes in at the fifth spot.

On top of the charts, however, is still Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, as it was last week, while FIFA 20 gets pushed down to third place, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons to No. 4. DOOM Eternal has seen quite a significant drop, falling out of the top 10 entirely.

Forza Horizon 4, Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy, and Grand Theft Auto 5 are all still in the top 10, but the last two positions see new games re-entering the charts. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Minecraft both see sales boost to come in at No.9 and No. 10 respectively.
