In a surprise to pretty much, no one the Last of Us 2 has taken out the top spot of the gaming charts. On its opening weekend, the horror title has beaten out all competitors to top the leaderboard at the first attempt.
Rounding out the top 5 are some familiar names. Fifa 20 keeps its space at three as does Ring Fit Adventure at two. Last weeks leader, Mario Kart Deluxe 8, has dropped down to four after its triumph a week ago. However, neither could stop the Last of Us 2 from making a big splash in its first week in the charts.
Mixed Reviews For New Entrants
Four new titles entered the top 40 for the first time this week. The Last of Us 2 naturally dominated the charts and finished as number one. However, not everything else fared as favourably.
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fuelled could only scrap in at 39 on its first week in the charts. Faring slightly better, Warioware Gold came in at 29 and Doom Eternal could only reach 21.
Biggest Risers and Fallers
Not much movement this week within the top 40 as things stayed pretty much as they were. The Witcher III: Wild Hunt GOTY Edition fell the most from 17 down to 34 but most only moved a couple of places.
In terms of those that climbed the charts, two titles both rose by seven places. Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 20 made its way up 16. Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 cracked the top 30 and moved into 26th place.
