The British Grand Prix took place over the weekend, and it just so happened to coincide with the launch of Codemasters' latest Formula One sim, F1 2021. It's no wonder, then, that the game debuts in the physical chart in second place. We've no doubt it would've made it to first had it not been for a certain Nintendo remaster.
The racer comes in just above FIFA 21, which moves down a spot to third. Meanwhile, Grand Theft Auto V actually moves up one place into eighth, and the top 10 is rounded out by Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. The PlayStation 5 title takes a tumble from first to 10th thanks to the duo of new releases.
There's not much else to report this time, what with the top end of the chart still flooded with Switch exclusives. Let's take a look at the top 10 in full.
UK Sales Charts: Week Ending 17th July 2021

- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Another good F1 game. Enjoyed playing the game more than the F1 race (Loved the “not a race” Sprint)
Can’t wait for my Steam Deck, would have loved to do a few practice laps this morning on my way to work.
@Agramonte congrats on getting a reservation!
Game itself is great and so much fun. Love it... but the bugs... holy s***. AI not working properly very often... heavy tearing and stuttering on PS5 in film sequences in breaking point. Voice acting not synchronised.
The worst bugs are the soundbugs. Sometimes I had to rip the 3D Headset off of my head because I got weird and loud engine and crowd sounds. The engine itself became unhearable or sounded like a Formula E car. Patch will sort these I know.
@mrtennis1990 thanks! yeah it crashed Checkout. But Not any worse than the EVGA queue for the 3080s.
Not been this excited for a handheld in ages. Steam gets every 3rd party game each year for me to pick from.
Finally swimming in game choices for the Bus just like at home 👍
Codemasters makes awesome F1 games.
Surprising performance by Bowsers fury and Mario Golf.
Still surprised they've never released F1 games on the Switch?
@Far_Cide Think Studio Liverpool (R.I.P.) had the edge in the PS3 era - F1 Championship Edition looks great even today!
@Agramonte Cool! I managed to get a Steam Deck pre-order but to be honest if they sell for stupid money at December time then i might sell it as i don't mind waiting for more stock.
Well done Nintendo for having a dominance in the sales chart again.
@sanderson72 I agree with you plus I'm a racing fan anyways so yeah this series is awesome.
