Grand Theft Auto 5 continues to amaze onlookers after securing the UK chart’s No.1 spot more than 150 weeks after its release back in September 2013.
These 150+ weeks have seen Rockstar’s monster hit claim nine No.1s. The game’s last time at No.1 was in March 2015.
The gaming landscape has also changed somewhat since GTA 5 launched almost three years ago, with the majority of sales now coming on PS4 and Xbox One, accounting for 49 per cent and 41 per cent of GTA 5’s weekly sales respectively.
Uncharted 4 is up 19 per cent and remains in second place, whilst LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens can’t make it six weeks at No.1, falling into third.
Overwatch is up to fourth, whilst other big movers include The Division from 21st to 11th, UFC 2 up 26 per cent and Rainbow Six Siege also up 26 per cent.
