News.UK Game Charts:FIFA 18 returns to the top of the UK Charts
FIFA 18 has won the race for the first game of 2018 to sit atop the UK game charts. Despite the fact that Call of Duty: WWII ended 2017 on top – a position it had held for some time before then, too – EA’s evergreen sports franchise has wrestled its crown from the popular FPS, which slides to second place.
Grand Theft Auto V makes its usual appearance, this month all the way up in the third spot, and Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Origins holds firm in fourth. Surprisingly, despite the backlash over Star Wars Battlefront II’s microtransaction system, slots in at fifth.
Not only that, but the Top Five, which was cemented over the festive season, has also been raided by Rockstar' crime-opera Grand Theft Auto V, with the 2013 title coming in third place. Top Ten re-entries were made by battle-royale pioneer PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, The Sims 4 and Forza Motorsport 7, while Switch titles Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda: Breath of the Wild, still simmer in the latter half of the big leagues.
EA’s FIFA 18 has been the best selling game in the United Kingdom over the first week of the year, ending the nine-week streak of Call of Duty: WWII. This way, Activision’s shooter drops to number 2 unable to surpass the run of Modern Warfare 2, although it did stay the same number of consecutive weeks on top of the list. Still, WWII has proven to rejuvenate the sales of the franchise, performing much better than 2016’s Infinite Warfare.
