This week’s UK software sales are in, and it includes significant information about Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

The game, which saw a 7 percent sales increase week-on-week, was the second best-selling game of 2020 in terms of boxed releases – only FIFA 21 did better. However, if we’re looking at single platform sales as opposed to grouping all systems together, Animal Crossing is well ahead of FIFA 21 on PlayStation 4.

Boxed sales of Switch games dipped only 25 percent week-on-week. That’s in contrast to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which fell 48 percent and 53 percent respectively.

Here’s a look at the best-selling games in the UK of the past week:
