This week’s UK charts shows the problem with only being able to track games at retail with any reliability, as a dearth of new retail releases last week lead to a lot of familiar games featuring prominently at the top of the charts.
We know that there have been a lot of great digital releases over the past few weeks, whether it’s Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture or something completely insane like Goat Simulator. Chances are that, given the chance, these would make a bit of a splash in the charts, but they don’t get the chance.
So we see last week’s leader, Rare Replay, fall from a brief stay in first place to sixth for its second week of release. This allowed LEGO Jurassic World to return to the top, with Grand Theft Auto V, The Elder Scrolls Online, Batman: Arkham Knight and FIFA 15 filling out the top five.
