Overwatch has secured a second straight week at No.1, bringing its total UK No.1s up to five and equalling the 2016 performance of Black Ops 3 and LEGO Star Wars.

So slow were sales this past week that Overwatch could drop a hefty 42 per cent week-on-week and still retain the crown.

F1 2016 is also down 48 per cent, and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided down 58 per cent, yet these climb to No.2 and No.3 respectively.

With the summer holidays over and the kids returning to school, sales were bound to slump as retail begins preparing for a busy few months ahead.
