Call Of Duty: Vanguard still UK number one – Games charts 13 November

It may be a sales disappointment but Call Of Duty: Vanguard is still the UK number one, with Forza Horizon 5 unable to dislodge it.

The most important sales information of the week, now that digital numbers are in, is that Call Of Duty: Vanguard has been revealed to have had the worst launch for the series in 14 years.

You’d never know that to look at the physical software charts though, or that Forza Horizon 5 was the biggest Xbox launch ever – since its inclusion in Game Pass means that relatively few people bought a physical copy.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 saw first week sales drop 37% on the original but that will probably be reversed once digital sales are taken into account. Shin Megami Tensei 5 debuting at number nine is good news whichever way you look at it though, given what an obscure franchise it is and the UK’s general indifference to Japanese role-players.
