FIFA 21 solidified its position at the top of the charts, losing 24% to its result last week. The slump in sales hasn’t stopped the new release of Electronic Arts’ annual soccer simulator to contain the onslaught of Watch Dogs: Legion.

Ubisoft’s prequel of hacker fighters in the open-world started in the UK retail 54% worse than its predecessor, Watch Dogs 2. However, since 2016, the distribution of sales has managed to swing towards the digital format.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch debuted in seventh place. It is noteworthy that the original game (in the version for Nintendo Wii U) performed 18.5% better over the same period.

The latest top 10 newcomer is the second standalone release in The Dark Pictures horror anthology. The closeness to Halloween did not save Little Hope – starting sales were 47% worse than Man of Medan a year earlier.

Really high-profile releases are not expected this week, however, Games Industry is still expecting an increase in sales due to the quarantine introduced on November 5 in the UK.
