While we are waiting for the full UK physical software charts, video game journalist Christopher Dring has announced on Twitter that the recently released The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD has slipped to No.2 this week in the United Kingdom. Sales of the latest Zelda remaster for the Nintendo Switch system unfortunately dipped 74% during its second week on sale and was replaced at No.1 by the latest F1 2021 game from EA and Codemasters. We will publish the full top ten physical software charts once they become available.
Here is the GfK Top Ten for the week ending 24th July, 2021:
| Last Week | This Week | Title |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 1 | F1 2021 |
| 1 | 2 | The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD |
| 10 | 3 | Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart |
| 3 | 4 | FIFA 21 |

Do sales of previously released games tend to sell more in the 2nd week?
Generally there’s a drop, but 74% is quite a bit.
Surprised it isn’t fifa or grand theft auto for the millions time.
UK sure do love their fifa and grand theft auto, lol.
