The latest UK chart is in, and we're back to a relative norm. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is back atop the all formats chart, and we can probably attribute part of that resurgence to Warzone, the free-to-play add-on that now comes with every copy. Meanwhile, DOOM Eternal, which saw a strong second place debut last week, moves down a couple of spaces, swapping positions with FIFA 20.
The effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the charts are still evident, too. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled have seen a bump in sales over the last few weeks, and now Spyro: Reignited Trilogy joins them, making for an Activision remake trifecta in the lower half of the top 10. We're not surprised these family friendly titles are in an upswing, but they aren't the only games on the rise. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, The Last of Us Remastered, and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End have all made a resurgence within the top 40.
Here's the latest top 10 in full.

I still cannot fathom how FIFA and COD stay up there. And who is still buying GTA V?!
The top 10 are all decent enough games but it is kinda sad how so many other great games go unnoticed by the majority of people who play games.
@roe i know plenty who play games that i wouldn't call a 'gamer'. There purchases are iterations of the same few sports, fps or sandbox franchises and that is it. I look for little indie gems, VR, and many eclectic experiences along with some mainstays. Im runnin thru BL3 for example right now. The reality is 80-90% of the consoles on peoples shelves see a very limited amount of games.
Nice to see Crash and Spyro appear in the Top 10 again.
@KALofKRYPTON Every1 is locked away in their apartments...
RN games are one of the only ways to socialize out there...
No wonder COD and FIFA are at the top...
Surprisingly, Sony's the only one without an exclusive in the Top 10...
Didn't expect that given their dominance in Europe...
Why go on an adrenaline fuelled trip through hell & back when you could be kicking a ball into a net?
@shuvamg009 I don't besmirch people who play them, or buy them - but the just hold on to such incredibly high sales, even outside of the current global issues.
@KALofKRYPTON I think this will be the trend for the next few weeks...
Multiplayer games will be selling in hordes...
I took the plunge and bought animal crossing, its lovely! Exactly what's needed after a garbage shift. My daughter loves it too, I think its managed to replace mario odyssey as her favourite.
