To the surprise of absolutely no one, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is the UK's Christmas number one game. It's usually a toss-up between Activision's shooter franchise and the mighty FIFA, and 2019 is the turn of Captain Price and crew. FIFA 20 claims second, of course, while Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order remains a top seller in third.
Meanwhile, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled are in ninth and tenth respectively, making it a good week for Activision's retro remakes. The saga of Death Stranding sees it clamber up to number 13 following an 83 per cent sales increase. Sounds like Sam Bridges will be delivering plenty of presents this year.
Here's the latest top 10 in full.

all those CoD copies given as christmas gifts.. what a disappointment some people will get when they realise only a 1/4 of the game is on the disk, and they might get to play it on boxing day if they're lucky by the time the rest of it finishes downloading.
A call of duty game is number one at Christmas? I am shocked, this is totally unexpected, truly a Christmas miracle.
This is my second COD this and i like it. Its only sad that monetization makes it less great. Investors a disease on gaming.
Looks like all the awards for Death Stranding have helped push sales. I just started it yesterday, super weird but fully expected.
Death stranding probably got a boost also because of a slight sales reduction. I’m glad the game is doing better thou as it’s a fabulous. I’m on chapter 8 and loving it Side not:, Super powered Zip lines like on DS need to be invented to get me to work on time
@leucocyte as much as I had loads to download surprisingly it only took me about an hour to download it all.
@hoffa007 sony DLs to my understand allow you to get in the mix faster. Like downloading a "vertical slice". At least i know that i van put the same game in my xbox and ps and the download size it shows me to get playing is always lower on my ps
I see Crash is back in two forms.
Glad to see Fallen Order sales still going strong. Hoping I'll get it as a present this Christmas but if I don't I'll definitely be buying it in the New Year.
As good as a game MW is, it still has so many bugs and glitches. From people wall breaching to battle pass 100 glitches, it just makes the game too unplayable for me.
This is the battle pass 100 glitch btw
