Crash Team Racing returns to the top of the UK sales charts

With all due respect to all the passionate and talented developers out there, we didn't see any highly-anticipated or major releases hit retailers last week. That's why Activision's remake of Crash Team Racing put its foot on the gas again.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled made its way back to the top of the UK sales chart after placing third in last week's update. It's not the only game that gained some extra traction due to last week's lack of new AAA-releases either, as Super Mario Maker 2 jumped from fourth to second, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe shows that kart games are all the rage these days by driving from seventh to third, while Red Dead Redemption 2 decided it was sad to see Grand Theft Auto V as the only Rockstar game amongst the top ten so it placed eighth after ending up in fifteenth last time.

It's not all good news for games on the list though, as last week's number one, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, hit the fire alarm at school and took a nosedive down to seventh place. That leaves us with this top ten looking like this:

1. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled / Activision
2. Super Mario Maker 2 / Nintendo
3. Mario Kart 8: Deluxe / Nintendo
4. FIFA 19 / EA
5. Grand Theft Auto V / Take-Two
6. F1 2019 / Codemasters
7. Fire Emblem: Three Houses / Nintendo
8. Red Dead Redemption 2 / Take-Two
9. Minecraft / Microsoft
10. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate / Nintendo
