Nin­ten­do con­tin­ues to be a pow­er­house into the 2021 year, with near­ly half of the top twen­ty games in the U.K. sales chart being pub­lished by the com­pa­ny. Ani­mal Cross: New Hori­zons is their best-sell­er, remain­ing in first place for its third week in a row — com­ing back to that posi­tion after a short hiatus.

Anoth­er one of Nin­ten­do’s games holds sec­ond and has also stayed in that spot for quite some time, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Ubisoft­’s Just Dance 2021 has also main­tained its third place posi­tion for anoth­er week. Grand Theft Auto V has seen a large leap from last week, going from eighth to fourth and final­ly breach­ing the top five after near­ly six months. Minecraft also moved up a cou­ple of spaces, from sev­enth to fifth.

A cou­ple of these games in the chart have seen mini and huge declines in their place­ment, as well as major jumps. Assas­s­in’s Creed Val­hal­la dropped six places, going from fifth to 11th. Super Mario Par­ty jumped up eight spots, com­ing from below 20th, to 17th. FIFA 21, which typ­i­cal­ly does well, fell from fourth to sixth. Ring Fit Adven­ture also fell four posi­tions, going from sixth to tenth.
