F1 2015 has knocked Batman: Arkham Knight off the top of the UK All-Formats Charts to become this week’s No.1.

Week one sales for this year’s racer were 367 percent higher than F1 2014’s, likely thanks to its debut on new-gen consoles and its arrival earlier in the F1 season.

Sales of Batman: Arkham Knight fell 54 percent week-on-week, but it still did well enough to secure a place ahead of LEGO Jurassic World, which also slips one place to No.3. The Elder Scrolls Online and Grand Theft Auto V land at No.4 and No.5, with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt falling two places to No.6.

Last week’s No.6, meanwhile, Yoshi’s Woolly World, slips 12 places to No.18, one spot below May’s Wii U exclusive Splatoon. This week’s biggest climber appears to be Disney Infinity 2.0, which climbs 13 places to No.13 following a week of retailer promotions.

EA’s first Xbox One and PS4 golf game Rory McIlroy PGA Tour arrives this Friday and could give F1 2015 a run for its money at the top. God of War 3 Remastered arrives on PS4 as well, although whether it can justify its price tag remains to be seen. And if you’re more interested in beating up monsters in a more contemporary setting, Godzilla comes to PS4 and PS3 this Friday, too.
