Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has spent more weeks at the top of the UK All-Formats Video Games chart than any other game in the series, GFK Chart-Track has revealed.
The game recorded its 11th No.1 this week, having missed out on just one week at the top so far throughout 2016. The previous record holder was 2009’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which achieved 9 weeks at No.1. Unlike Black Ops 3, however, all of them were consecutive.
The game even managed to fend off sales of last week’s Street Fighter V, despite Capcom’s fighter being one of the first major games to release at retail this year.
The UK’s all-time No.1 record still belongs to PS1’s Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, however, which secured 18 weeks at the top.
Black Ops 3 launched on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in November, with opening week sales said to be “up significantly” over earlier games Call of Duty: Ghosts and Advanced Warfare.
This year’s Call of Duty title, meanwhile, is being developed by Modern Warfare studio Infinity Ward, although Activision expects sales to be down on Black Ops 3.
