Resident Evil Village returns as UK number one – Games charts 22 May

Mass Effect Legendary Edition has enjoyed only one week at number one, as Switch exclusive Miitopia almost claims the top spot.

Capcom’s latest survival horror seems to be showing some impressive legs, as it returns to the top of the UK physical sales charts, dislodging Mass Effect and keeping new entry Miitopia at bay.

Miitopia was not made available for review before release but is a remake of a poorly regarded 3DS game of the same name. Nevertheless, it seems to have performed just as well as most other Switch exclusives.

The only other new entry last week was the console version of online game Rust, which just missed out on the top 10 with a debut at number 11.
