Last week's UK chart data is in, and it was a great run for FIFA 18 with the combined formats chart showing the footie simulator surging back into first place thanks to a heavy discount on the Nintendo Switch version. Combined with the other formats, the annual instalment held off Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but it was still the PS4 version that sold the most copies. (Last week's entry is shown in brackets for both charts.)

Bayonetta 2 also debuted at number five in the combined formats chart, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe slipping two places to the precarious number nine slot.

When it comes to individual platforms, things get a little more interesting. FIFA 18 on Switch's strong sales helped in debut in the chart at number nine, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sits in an even more precarious position having dropped five whole places to 10th place. However, an impressive opening late in the week for Bayonetta 2 sees the Switch release sitting pretty at number three.
