Top 10 UK Games Chart: Far Cry 5 Retains Top Spot, GTA 5 Rises Again

Far Cry 5 once again tops the UK charts, making it three weeks in a row at No.1. According to sales monitor GfK Chart-Track, Ubisoft's open-world title was the best-selling physical game in the UK for the week ending April 14, ahead of FIFA 18 at No.2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at No.3.

The week was a barren one in terms of new releases, with no new games entering the chart. That means Grand Theft Auto V rises four places to No.4 and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds maintains its No.5 position from the previous week. Another Xbox One console exclusive, Sea of Thieves, drops three places to No.6.

Far Cry 5 has enjoyed huge success since its March launch: it is the fastest-selling game in the series and Ubisoft's second-biggest launch ever. It was also popular with critics, earning a 9/10 in GameSpot's Far Cry 5 review.
