F1 2020 takes pole position in this week’s UK gaming chart

F1 2020 has topped this week’s gaming chart after having the series’ most successful launch since 2017 (via Games Industry). The Formula One racer is developed by Codemasters, the name behind many of the most highly regarded racing games available today.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is in at number two. This mainstay of the 2020 gaming charts only once slipped out of the top ten since its launch in March. A recent update to the game seems to have reignited sales. Generally, the Nintendo Switch has performed well once again, with four titles (Minecraft (Switch), Luigi’s Mansion 3, and Mario Kart 8: Deluxe) making it into the top ten.

Other Switch titles have launched to lower positions in the chats, with Deadly Premonition 2 ranking at number 34 and the Harvest Moon remake Story Of The Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town reaching number 21.

Last week’s number one, the highly anticipated The Last Of Us Part 2, saw a 48% dip in sales after an initial record-breaking sales performance. Marvel’s Iron Man VR has fallen to number nine, down from being last week’s number two.
