Codemasters' F1 2021 has claimed the No.1 spot in the UK boxed charts, despite a 37% drop in sales week-on-week.

The game missed out on pole position last week as it was beaten by Nintendo's latest remaster: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD.

However, the Nintendo Switch game dropped 74% in physical sales during its second week, which has seen the two titles swap places.

Elsewhere, a large number of PS5 consoles were shipped to retailers this week, which has resulted in a sales surge for some of the platform's biggest games. Insomniac's PS5 exclusive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart spiked 288% in sales week-on-week, and is up seven places to No.3. Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Miles Morales -- also by Insomniac -- jumped 242% in sales and has risen 11 places to No.6. Both games were included as part of PS5 console bundles at retailers.

Other PS5 titles to jump in sales includes third-party games Assassin's Creed: Valhalla (No.12), Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (No.17), Marvel's Avengers (No.18) and Resident Evil: Village (No.19).

Big deals on Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order saw the EA title drop to below £10. The game spiked 256% in sales as a result, and jumps back into the charts at No.11.

Good stuff for EA lately, and it looks like F1 might have some legs as well!

Seeing Cris Tales chart in top 40 is nice. Hope it gets more support worldwide.
