Upcoming GoalBall tournament puts EA in the premier league
Another shake-up in the UK Charts this week has seen Electronic Arts’FIFA 18return to the number one slotagain, no doubt amidst all the excitement of the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2018 tournament, which kicks off (literally) in Russia this Summer.
Last week’s debuting number one, Quantic Dreams’Detroit: Become Human, has shifted to second place, followed up be Sony’sGod of Warand Ubisoft’sFar Cry 5, which still refuses to go gently into that good night. BothDark Souls RemasteredandState of Decay 2have also held fast in the Top Ten.
Retro-compilationsSega Mega Drive ClassicsandStreet Fighter 30th Anniversary Collectionmade strong Top Ten debuts, while celebrations continue for the anniversary of Blizzard’s online shooterOverwatch, retaining seventh place from last week. Elsewhere in the charts, MadMind’s edgelord survival horror titleAgonydebuted at number 31, while Microsoft’s pirate adventureSea of Thievesmade a leap back up the charts, going from number 28 all the way up to number 15.
I still thinkGod of Waris destined for another turn at the top before sales peak, tune in next week to find out whether games from 2017 (and even 1991) continue to outsell titles from this year.
