Titanfall has jumped back to the top of the UK Video Games Chart with a 220 per cent increase in sales, largely thanks to the launch of the Xbox 360 version, reports Chart-Track.
The strong sales mean that LEGO The Hobbit must settle for second place on its debut, while FIFA 14 is kicked down to No.3. Retailer promotions help South Park: The Stick of Truth rise 52 per cent to No.4, one place ahead of Call of Duty: Ghosts.
Elsewhere, Kinect Sports: Rivals is new at No.14, Football Manager 2014 re-enters the chart at No.18 thanks to the PS Vita edition, while Don Bradman Cricket 14 claims the 34th spot.
The Elder Scrolls Online is this week’s major casualty, though, dropping from No.2 to No.19. Digital sales will be key for the MMO’s ongoing success, although its console release in June will no doubt propel it back up the chart.

Titanfall’s stay at the top is likely to be short-lived with EA’s 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil hitting stores on Thursday. The official game of the FIFA World Cup will also benefit from the increased consumer spending over the Easter Weekend.
Trials Fusion is also coming to stores, but we anticipate a major share of its sales will be made digitally, hurting its chances of charting inside the Top 5.
