Call of Duty: Modern Warfare holds on to the top of the UK charts

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has achieved a second week at the top of the UK charts amid a warm critical reception, fighting off pressure from the latest Nintendo Switch exclusive, Luigi’s Mansion 3.

Despite the newly-released Luigi’s Mansion 3 only managing to take second spot in the charts, it has still managed to become the most successful Switch launch of 2019, beating off stiff competition from Super Mario Maker 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. Luigi’s Mansion 3’s extra day on sale compared to the other two will have helped that (it released on a Thursday as opposed to a Friday), but it’s still quite an achievement for Luigi to usurp both his brother and his fellow green-wearing Nintendo favourite Link. We’re really enjoying Luigi’s Mansion 3 – you can expect to find our review up by the end of the week.

Elsewhere in the charts, FIFA 20 has dropped down a place into third to make way for Luigi’s Mansion 3, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has jumped two places in fourth, representing another strong week for the worlds favourite karting franchise. The Outer Worlds has dropped a place into fifth due to Mario Kart’s strong week, and Ghost Recon Breakpoint has gained a couple of places to take sixth position despite its early problems. Get-fit-while-you-play-games title Ring Fit Adventure has held firm in seventh place, while Plants Vs. Zombies: Battle For Neighborville has gained a place to take eighth. Grand Theft Auto V and Medievil round out the top ten, with GTA V gaining two places to reappear in the top ten and Medievil tumbling five places into tenth.

Outside of the top ten, Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King has debuted in the charts in twelfth place, and there’s a big eleven place tumble for WWE 2K20, which has fallen from third place into fourteenth amid a lot of criticism and attention over the numerous bugs that are present in the game.
