Overwatch has climbed three places in the UK All-Formats Chart to become this week’s No.1.

New release World of Warcraft: Legion enters at No.3, although things didn’t go as well for God Eater 2: Rage Burst, which debuts at No.21. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt GOTY Edition is also a new entry at No.17.

Elsewhere in the chart, racing simulation Assetto Corsa tumbles 10 places to No.18 in its second week, with No Man’s Sky falling from No.3 to No.7 – its lowest chart position since releasing last month. Worms WMD, meanwhile, had a better week, climbing from No.39 to No.29.

Rock Band 4 also makes a re-entry at No.27, likely thanks to its massive price cut at Argos last week which saw the guitar bundle discounted to £24.99.

This week’s only new release is the £49.99 Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited Gold Edition, which I’m not expecting to do particularly well considering the vanilla version can be had for little under £10. Expect next week’s charts to look largely the same – unless, unless the surprise launch of PS4 Slim manages to boost software sales of PS4 exclusives.
