There were no new entries to shake up the physical sales charts this week in the UK but they’ve changed anyway, thanks to Amazon Prime Day.

That’s why Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has jumped back up to number one, since it was one of the most heavily discounted games in the sales.

For the same reason Far Cry 6 has reappeared at number six, while Assassin’s Creed Valhalla rose to number 12, Halo Infinite went up to number 14, and Watch Dogs Legion got to number 20.

The games will almost certainly fall back down again next week, now the sale is over, although what exactly what will bubble back up to number one is hard to guess, given there’s still no new releases scheduled.
