Grand Theft Auto V PS4

This Nintendo Switch and its selection of games are definitely popular products right now, aren’t they? System-exclusive titles make up nearly half of the latest UK sales chart, with game purchases across the country increasing 33% under lockdown. This leaves PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 games feeling like their only goal is to make up the numbers, with the best a title available on either system can do being Just Dance 2021 in third. And even then, almost 90% of those physical purchases were for the Switch version.

Due to Nintendo’s dominance, FIFA 21 slips two places to fourth while Assassin’s Creed Valhalla loses one place to fifth. Everyone’s favorite game, Grand Theft Auto V, is moving up to eighth and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is completely in tenth – that’s literally all we need to discuss this week. Nintendo is truly on top as the UK enters another phase of full lockdown, and it doesn’t look like any major releases will shake things up until Hitman 3.
