Codemasters F1 2021 is back with a bang. The game has managed to get the top spot in the UK boxed charts. F1 2021 overtakes the popular Nintendo Switch game, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD to bang this spot. Last week the game missed the top position as Nintendo’s new masterpiece The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Swords HD beat it. However, the sale of Nintendo’s masterpiece dropped 74% in the sale. This is for its second week. Not only this but Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Spider-Man: Miles Morales’s position improved a lot as compared to the previous week. This may be because of the new arrival of all the PlayStation 5 stocks. 

Well, this enormous drop of the Nintendo Switch game is not that much shocking as it is pretty usual for a brand new game to drop by this huge number in its 2nd or 3rd week. The unfortunate combination of scorching high temperature and UK opening after a long COVID-19 lockdown will have a tremendous impact on the performance/sales of the new arrival.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart’s sales spiked after the arrival of Playstation 5 new stock. It rises approximately 288% as compared to the previous week. From 10th position to 3rd, that’s quite an impressive jump.

A large number of Playstation 5 consoles were shipped to the major market which has resulted in the benefit of some of the biggest games. Spider-Man: Miles Morales has risen by approximately 242%. The interesting fact here is that both the games are a part of PlayStation 5 console bundles.
