Jurassic World Evolution released at retail last week, but even the promise of your very own dinosaur empire wasn't quite enough to topple Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Activision's revitalised platformer is once again at the top of the pile, with the dino park management sim debuting in second place.
Elsewhere, The Crew 2 manages a podium finish in third, and the mighty God of War is still holding its own in the middle of the top 10. Red Faction Guerrilla: Remarstered sadly couldn't topple the bestsellers, debuting at No 20. Notable by its absence is Grand Theft Auto V, which slips outside the top 10 for the first time in months.
Here's the latest top 10 in full.

Crash Bandicoot still number 1after all these years!
That is nsane.
Can you claim copyright on videogame character emotions? Because that Crash Bandicoot image is an exact copy of my bedroom face.
Wow, Crash is doing so well. They'd be mad not to remake Crash Team Racing as well. Easy money.
Sad to see Red Faction do poorly but then it didn't sound like the best remaster.
Man creates dinosaurs. Dinosaurs eat man. Bandicoot inherits the earth.
@themcnoisy Its just released on Xbox, Windows and Switch (29th June) so that's probably why its topping the chart now....
Jurassic World released a few weeks ago (12th) so its doing better than the Crew 2 which also released on the 29th. Red Faction only released on the 3rd July so its not exactly had a 'full' week of sales (just 4days compared to the others) - and it wasn't exactly a big game that everyone was looking forward to replaying now its re-mars-tered.
Weird to see the disparity between Xbox and Switch sales too. How odd.
Wonder if this will convince Activision to do a Spyro port but looking at the scale of those games and the cutbacks made to the much smaller Crash titles...it doesnt look likely.
Timed exclusives work. You just need a great title(s) so it tops the chart in consecutive years.
@sinalefa You also need the marketing to be positive. Due to Crash being linked to the PS platform, no one was too surprised and everybody was happy when the game came to other platforms eventually. With Tomb Raider it was the other way around: due to the series being strongly associated with PS, the disappointment of an Xbox exclusive overshadowed everything else about the game.
