Crash and co. fend off Team Marvel
In what is proving to be a fairly uneventful summer, several titles new and old continue to jostle for position within the UK retail charts. This week sees the return ofCrash Team Racing Nitro-Fueledto the number one spot in the charts, fending off the debut of Nintendo’sMarvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order,which was forced to settle for second place.
In tried and true “dunno what to buy” fashion, perennial mainstaysFIFA 19andRed Dead Redemption 2crawled back up into the Top Five. But the most surprising comebacks fall to Activision’sCall of Duty: Black Ops 4andMarvel’s Spider-Man,with both titles leaping back into the Top Ten from numbers 30 and 21 respectively.
In fact, a plethora of older titles made re-entry in the Top 40 this week, includingThe Last of Us, Minecraft Xbox, Battlefield VandTekken 7,no doubt scooped up in online summer sale offers. While we may be a little starved for releases right now, clearly the people are keeping occupied. It looks likeWolfenstein: Youngbloodis going to be able to just saunter right into the number one spot next week.
