Xbox One exclusive Rare Replay shot straight to the top of the UK sales charts in a desperately slow summer week, securing the legendary British developer's first number one since Banjo-Kazooie all the way back in 1998. Elsewhere, last week's frontrunner LEGO Jurassic World moved down into second, while Batman: Arkham Knight, The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, and Grand Theft Auto V rounded out the top five.
In truth, there's very little to say this time, with the retail release calendar taking a bit of a break. Evergreen titles like FIFA 15, Battlefield Hardline, and F1 2015 made up the top ten, as LittleBigPlanet 3 enjoyed a climb up the charts into 17th position on the back of various promotions. God of War III Remastered dropped heavily into 28th place, but both The Last of Us Remastered and Bloodborne proved that they still have clout, desperately clinging on to a top 40 slot.

People are hardly still buying FIFA15?
@itshoggie People always buy FIFA. XD
@get2sammyb lol that's mad like with 16 out next month. Do pre owned sales count no?
@itshoggie Nope, just new copies.
@get2sammyb so people are paying full price for a game you could easily pick up for 20 quid second hand? Wtf is wrong with the World lol
Rare Replay is a great value, glad to see it doing well. Will be interested to see its North America sales when we get the NPD numbers next month.
@itshoggie you can get fifa 15 on psn for 15.99 but not sue if that counts towards the charts
To be honest with fifa dont need retail they arent worth shit anyway when you sell it...
@Markos74 Chart Track only tracks new sales of retail games, the PSN has its own monthly sales charts, though, and I expect FIFA 15 to be high this month because of the current sale.
The fact that Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is still in the charts surprises me. Is the UK games market 40% retired footballers?
