The first UK software Sales Chart of 2021 is in and Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons leads the pack. This puts last week’s champion FIFA 21 in second place. If we are keeping an eye on the progress of CDPR’s Cyberpunk 2077 (and why wouldn’t we as it was 2020’s most anticipated game), it has now dropped to 15th from 8th the previous week.
