The Division 2 has been knocked off its perch atop the physical UK chart by World War Z, the zombie shooter from Focus Home Interactive. It's a very strong debut for the publisher, which last enjoyed a number one result with Vampyr. Ubisoft's looter shooter didn't fall too far, though -- it's now in third behind FIFA 19, which has held steady in second for a good few weeks.
Elsewhere, there's not a whole lot of change. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice slips to eighth place, and Red Dead Redemption 2 falls down to fifth. The only other new entry in the top 10 is Snooker 19, which pots a number 9 debut.

Genuinely surprised World War Z got into the number 1 spot! I thought it was gonna be in tenth spot or something at best. Shows what I know
Next week will be interesting to see however on whether this is just because of a slow week...
What happened to last weeks Japan sales chart? Did I miss it?
Many people are dying to play yet another zombie game. It's a no brainer for them.
@Zukato Well done, well done
Of all the things to finally knock GTAV from the charts... and you're telling me it's a snooker game?!
That must've taken some balls.
Well that's a surprise didn't expected it to get into the top ten let alone number one, but that could just prove it was a slow week with not much new.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Cheap price will do that.
@RogerRoger They must have taken a queue from other games.
@AdamNovice Indeed, but I do wonder how many more snooker-based puns we could rack up.
@MoorePs4 Unfortunately, Media Create — the company that kept track of Japanese sales — stopped releasing the information a few weeks back, so that's the end of the Japanese charts for the time being.
Famitsu also covers sales with its own numbers, but they're generally regarded as less accurate.
@ShogunRok thats a shame, thanks for letting me know 👍
@RogerRoger i was goona say something about sscratching an itch, but then i realized i know nothing about snooker and dont even know if scratching is a thing in it. Ive only ever played pool. 😕
@ellsworth004 Couldn't tell you anything about snooker either, I'm afraid, but if we frame all these puns in the context of the comment section, I'm sure we wouldn't break anything.
Nice shot, though!
@RogerRoger give me a "break" im trying!
@ellsworth004 We'll chalk that one up to our complete lack of actual snooker knowledge, then.
@RogerRoger Would you give it a rest with the snooker puns? That's your only warning. No extension.
@PaperyWhiteBoy you really put him in his place with that one...
.... Snooker...
