It's time to take a look at the first UK games chart for 2020, and it may give you a sense of déjà vu.

News UK Sales Charts: Death Stranding Falls Out of the Top 10 as Call of Duty Reclaims Its Crown
Losing balance
Death Stranding has slipped and taken a tumble down the physical UK chart. Having already fallen from second to eighth last week, the unique PlayStation 4 adventure from Hideo Kojima now finds itself at number 13. New release Shenmue III doesn't exactly get in its way, either, debuting in 17th place. The top 10 is instead dominated...

News UK Sales Charts: Star Wars and Pokémon See Death Stranding Take a Tumble
Off balance
It's a turbulent week within the UK's physical video games chart.

Go sports team
FIFA 20 is out, and as always, the franchise reigns supreme in the UK chart. It's at number one for the second time, despite a major new release from Ubisoft. Ghost Recon: Breakpoint has had to settle for a second place debut, although we expect this game to stick around for a bit. Its predecessor went on to sell very well, so it's...

Other new releases didn't fare quite so...
