World cup fever helps drive 'FIFA 18' back to the top spot

‘FIFA 18’ returns to No1 on the back of continued heavy retail promotion and a new free World Cup mode, released on Tuesday 29th May. 

‘Detroit: Become Human’ falls to No2 ahead of ‘Far Cry 5’ which rises 3 places to No3.  ‘God of War’ at No4 holds off competition from this week’s retro new releases; ‘Sega Mega Drive Classics’ new at No5, just in front of ‘Street Fighter: 30th Anniversary Collection’ at No6. 

A retailer’s hardware bundling boosts the sales of several Top 40 titles, including launching ‘Sea of Thieves’ up from No28 to No15 and ‘Doom’ from No31 to No18.  Two other new titles debut inside the Top 40 this week: ‘Tennis World Tour’ from BigBen & Maximum Games at No31 and ‘Agony’ from MadMind Studio & Koch at No32.
