GRAND Theft Auto V is top of the charts for the eighth time since its launch in September 2013.
Sales of ROCKSTAR’s crime title rose 49 per cent week-on-week and ended the run of new IPs that have been No.1. The game has received extra attention in the media recently due to the release of GTA Online Heists DLC.
If the game manages another two weeks at the top spot it will equal the series’ record, currently held by 2002’s Vice City.
Further down the charts, the HD re-release of 2013’s DMC: Devil May Cry debuts in fifth place. DMC: Definitive Edition sold 28.8 per cent of the Week One sales of the original release.
New city builder title from PARADOX INTERACTIVE Cities: Skylines tops the Steam charts. The game has received plenty of press attention for trying to offer gamers a better version of SimCity. It sold 500,000 units worldwide in just six days.
And over in the mobile charts, USTWO’s Monument Valley makes a return to the iPad, iPhone and Android charts, perhaps as a result of its prominent placement in the third series of Netflix show House of Cards. The game also picked up two BAFTA awards last week the only game to collect more than one prize.
Meanwhile RARE’s Banjo-Kazooie tops the Xbox Live charts. The title was in the current round of Deals with Gold. It’s been a busy week for the classic 3D platformer. A special Banjo-Kazooie ‘crowd’ game was shown off at the event SXSW. Meanwhile, former Banjo-Kazooie developrs have formed a new UK-based development studio called Playtonic to build a spiritual successor to the game, currently entitled Project Ukelele.
