Horizon Forbidden West displaces Xenoblade Chronicles 3 at the top of the charts

Horizon Forbidden West has clambered back onto the top of the UK Entertainment Software charts after being briefly dethroned by Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

It climbed one place to reclaim the number one spot on this week's charts, with last week's chart topper slipping to 10th after an initial glut of sales.

Overall, it was a strong week for titles with PlayStation links. Demon Souls returned to the chart at number 20, suggesting PS5 restocks have helped boost sales, while the PlayStation Summer Sale appears to have boosted the prospects of games such as The Quarry and Gran Turismo 7.

However, the Switch continues to generate strong physical sales in the UK overall. Six of this week's top ten were Switch titles, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe receiving a minor upwards bump following the release of the new DLC tracks on Thursday 4th August.

Check out the chart in full below for more information about this week's best sellers.
