Octopath Traveler Slips In UK Charts As Crash Bandicoot Takes Fourth Consecutive Top Spot

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy has once again managed to bat away the competition, keeping its position at the top of the UK charts for a fourth consecutive week.

With a generous amount of Xbox One price reductions taking place over Amazon Prime Day last week, the top ten is a strange blend of current heavy-hitters and older re-entries this week. Rare’s Xbox One exclusive Sea of Thieves has re-entered the charts thanks to being included in console bundles over the sale, as has Minecraft: Xbox Edition and Forza Horizon 3LEGO The Incredibles has also seen another impressive week thanks to the Incredibles 2 movie being released earlier this month.

Octopath Traveler has sadly, but perhaps unsurprisingly, dropped from its third-place spot last week to 16th place this time around with a 60% fall in sales. That drop is relatively normal for a game as niche as Octopath Traveler, however, with the sudden jump of Xbox titles making the chart position drop seem a little more significant.

Interestingly, only 2,000 sales separate all of the top six positions this week so things were very close indeed. Here’s the top ten:

1. (1) Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy
2. (3) LEGO The Incredibles
3. (Re-Entry) Sea of Thieves
4. (Re-Entry) Minecraft: Xbox Edition
5. (New) Sonic Mania Plus
6. (Re-Entry) Forza Horizon 3
7. (5) God of War
8. (11) The Crew 2
9. (6) FIFA 18
10. (10) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Did you buy any of these chart-topping games this week?
