Thanks to aggressive in-store promotions, along with the recent World Cup content update, FIFA 18 has landed back atop the charts, putting an early end to Detroit: Become Human's run as the bestseller. Quantic Dream's "most successful game so far" has to settle for second place, while God of War moves back up to fourth.
Meanwhile, the middle of the top 10 has been overrun by retro experiences; SEGA Mega Drive Classics and Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection enter the charts at fifth and sixth respectively. Other new releases didn't fare quite so well, with Tennis World Tour starting at No.31 and Agony crawling in just below.
Here's the latest top 10 in full.

As a retro gamer, it's great to see a couple of the classic collections make the top 6.
FIFA 18 definitely got a big push from the world cup update plus a lower price (believe it retails at around £22 now)
Watched Jim Sterlings Jimpressions video for the Sega collection. Looked awful. Anyone bought it here. Is it as janky as it looked?
@Shellcore It's strange - I've seen a lot of complaints about stuttering, sound issues etc. but I didn't encounter anything as bad as people have been saying. I did find a tiny bit of stutter once or twice maybe, but that was it. Hardly the enormous problem everyone is making it out to be. Perhaps I just got lucky?
@Quintumply Thanks. I want to pick this up, but feedback has been mostly negative.
@Shellcore he was referring to the 2 player online mode. Player 1 has a rewind button.
It was total overkill in that video as I watched it yesterday too. The collection is decent but missing a good driving and 1v1 fighting game if Im being honest (VF 2 is terrible), the sound is mostly great but does have a few weird glitches in some games, there a tiny bit of lag compared to playing them in the 90s due to modern tvs and the fact its emulated. They are all of the negatives. The positives are having 50 megadrive games for £30, great challenge mode, options for the tv including mimicking a curved crt (this is awesome btw), the ability to Rewind games and for the nostalgia. You cant go wrong especially as one of the challenges is winning 50 games of Janken in Alex Kidd
Nice hold for detroit and god of war, both game has strong positive word of mouth
@Shellcore It's not perfect but it's ok. The games run mostly fine from my somewhat limited play so far. Had a tiny bit of slowdown during Sonic 1 but at least it doesn't play like the old PAL versions.
I haven't tried any of the online stuff so can't really speak for that.
The collection is solid but weirdly missing a few Sega classics and obvious 3rd party omissions.
I feel like they could've done more with the game room you get to play in, like different decorations etc. Also it'd be great if we could see the box art for each game. All you see is a spine with the logo on and then the logo on each cart.
@Quintumply's review sums it all up pretty well imo - https://www.pushsquare.com/reviews/ps4/sega_mega_drive_classics
I wouldn't say it's essential collection (particularly if you've already got any of the previous ones), but it's a nice, relatively inexpensive, package of some of the best games from the early 90s.
Wow, didn't expect the two retro releases to chart so highly.
@wiiware "detroid"... not sure if typo or elaborate pun...
@roe slowdown in Sonic 1? Don't tell me even PS4 can't handle that game's blast processing in practice.
@nhSnork I was thinking android lol
Does anyone know if EA will release an update to World Cup Mode in FIFA? The squads are already ridiculously out of date which kind of defeats the object of the mode!
