It’s a relatively static GfK Chart-Track top ten this week, with the only changes of note being the debut of Destiny: The Collection in fourth (which includes Destiny and all of its expansions including the newly released Rise of Iron), and the rise of Fallout 4 which reenters this week’s top ten. That means that Bioshock: The Collection remains at the pinnacle of an unchanged top three that also includes Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 (the PS4 version of which was last week’s best selling game on a single platform) and NBA 2K17.

Here’s the top ten in full:

1. Bioshock: The Collection / 2K / Take 2
2. Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 / Konami / Konami
3. NBA 2K17 / 2K / Take 2
4. Destiny: The Collection / Bungie / Activision
5. Overwatch / Blizzard / Activision
6. Rocket League / Psyonix / 505 Games
7. Fallout 4 / Bethesda / Bethesda
8. Grand Theft Auto V / Rockstar / Take 2
9. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens / TT / Warner Bros.
10. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End / Naughty Dog / Sony

It has clearly been too long since we last visited Bioshock hotspots Rapture and Columbia, and a starved audience demonstrated this by buying enough copies of Bioshock: The Collection to send it straight into first place in the UK retail charts. It’s worth noting that all three games included in this collection also once debuted as number one back in the day.

As an individual game for a specific format, no game sold better than Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 on PS4 (which also debuted in second in the multi-platform chart). Physical sales where down 3% for the series, but we imagine it was more than compensated for by digital downloads. Elsewhere NBA 2K17 scored three points after its launch, and Xbox One / Windows 10 exclusive Recore debuted inside the top five. Here’s the GfK Chart-Track top ten in full:

All formats:
1. Bioshock: The Collection / Take-Two
2. Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 / Konami
3. NBA 2K17 / Take-Two
4. Overwatch / Activision Blizzard
5. Recore / Microsoft
6. Rocket Leaguge / 505 Games
7. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End / Sony
8. Grand Theft Auto V / Take-Two
9. No Man’s Sky / Sony
10. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided / Square Enix

Individual formats:
1. Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 / PS4
2. Bioshock: The Collection / PS4

A group of Pokémon Go players  have found themselves entirely unable to play after the 0.37.0 update (1.7.0 on iOS) which disables the game on rooted or jailbroken devices.

If a player has meddled with their phone’s operating system, the game now displays a message upon loading which says “This device, OS, or software is not compatible with Pokémon Go.”

The sudden block has caused quite a stir among those with modified smartphones. These players are angry that Niantic allowed them to play for months, and spend cash in-game, only to then force them out.

Reddit user t0ppings was vented their anger in a post on the game’s subreddit.

Overwatch has claimed the top spot in the UK gaming charts once again, having beaten off far more recent releases to take the crown.

This is the second week that Blizzard’s team-based shooter has held pole position against more recent titles. Overwatch was released back in May, but its sales have consistently placed it toward the top of the charts since launch.

It finds itself ahead of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided which is only two weeks old, and F1 2016, which was released at around the same time.

It’s also impressive to see GTA 5 still loitering toward the top of the the charts. The release of the Cunning Stunts DLC and enduring popularity of GTA Online have kept its sales healthy.

(Rumours that on the back of its performance Rockstar has installed a toilet in its HQ which flushes using £50 notes in lieu of water are unconfirmed.)

Of course, this list won’t look this way (below) for long. The next three months sees the release of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Dishonored 2, PES 2017, FIFA 17, Titanfall 2, and Battlefield 1, to name but a few.

These will all be thrown into the fast-spin washing machine of the autumn and winter charts, where titles are on top one second and down below the next.

The top-ten all-formats games:

1. Overwatch / Blizzard / Activision
2. F1 2016 / Codemasters Birmingham / Codemasters
3. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided / Eidos Montreal / Square Enix
4. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens / TT Games / Warner Bros.
5. Grand Theft Auto / Rockstar / Take Two
6. Rocket League / Psyonix / 505
7. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End / Naughty Dog / Sony
8. No Man’s Sky / Hello Games / Sony
9. Doom / id Software / Bethesda
10. Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 / Treyarch / Activision

World of Warcraft: Legion launched this week, and Blizzard are top of the UK retail charts. You’d be forgiven for thinking that these two events were related, but actually it’s Overwatch that takes top spot this week’s chart, a return to first place on the leaderboard that makes it the Blizzard game that has enjoyed the most weeks at number one in the UK.

Legion, the new expansion for World of Warcraft, might have done better if digital sales were taken into account, but they’re not, and as such it ended up in third place. Interestingly the retail sales for Legion don’t measure up to those enjoyed by previous release Warlords of Draenor, even if the expansion is the highest charting debut of the past week.

There was also a couple of debuts outside of the top ten that you can see below. God Eater 2: Rage Burst landed in 21, while the GOTY edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt ended up in 17.

1. Overwatch – Blizzard / Activision
2. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – Eidos Montreal / Square Enix
3. World of Warcraft: Legion – Blizzard / Activision
4. F1 2016 – Codemasters / Codemasters
5. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End – Naughty Dog / Sony
6. Grand Theft Auto V – Rockstar / Take 2
7. No Man’s Sky – Hello Games / Sony
8. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens – TT Games / Warner Bros.
9. Rocket League – Psynoix / 505 Games
10. Madden NFL 17 – EA Tiburon / EA

There is some good news, and some bad news for Square Enix with the weekly British game charts. Good news first, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided captured first spot on both the all formats and individual formats charts (top two spots), but less stellar is the fact that its predecessor Human Revolution “had a much stronger week 1” according to Chart-Track. Clearly there were far more PS3 and Xbox 360 units out there in 2011 then there are PS4 and Xbox One units now, but it’s still not a great sign.

A couple of other new releases did well as Madden NFL 17 managed a surprising 5th, with the console release of Assetto Corsa coming in at 8th. Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom also performed realtively strongly with 10th spot on the all formats chart. Quantum Break raced up to 16th spot (+623%) thanks to retailer hardware bundles.

Steam, Sony and Amazon are reportedly issuing refunds for PC users of No Man’s Sky after weeks of problems since its launch.

According to Game Revolution, Steam is accepting requests for refunds no matter what the logged play time.

However, Steam has written a notice on its No Man’s Sky page stating that its “standard policy” applies to the game, which states that a title can only be refunded before two hours of play.

Additionally, Sony and Amazon US are also reported to be offering refunds (via Gadgets 360) to players however long their play time.

Many users have claimed on Reddit that they have successfully received refunds for the game despite having spent quite a while on it.

This all comes after expectations for the much-anticipated game were dashed due to numerous performance and stability issues, with Hello Games having released a series of patches to fix crash issues.

Additionally, reviewers have questioned its enduring appeal, the sandbox-style exploration format coming under criticism for its lack of things to actually do.

Since its release earlier this month, No Man’s Sky’s sales have dropped 81%, despite topping the charts when launched.

PC Invasion also reports that the number of players dropped dramatically from 220,000 to 15,700 by its second week.

No Man’s Sky is available now for PS4 and PC.

Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky has been toppled at the top of the charts, with Codemasters’ F1 2016 replacing it in pole position.

No Man’s Sky sales were down 81% from last week, allowing F1 2016 space to overtake it and slip into first. Sales for the racing series were also down 32% on last year’s entry (F1 2015), a surprise given the encouraging critical reception enjoyed by this year’s effort.

Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens saw better fortunes, with sales increasing 13%, allowing it to move back into number three. Outside the Top 10, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst saw a 90% rise in sales, putting it back in the Top 40 at 27.

In other chart news FIFA 16 and Rocket League stay where they are at seven and six respectively and Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 slips out of the Top 10. Here is the GFK Chart-Track Top 10 in full:

1. F1 2016 / Codemasters Birmingham / Codemasters
2. No Man’s Sky / Hello Games / Sony
3. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens / TT Games / Warner Bros.
4. Overwatch / Blizzard / Activision

No Man’s Sky has made a huge splash for Sony this week, with Hello Games’ space adventure charting in the top spot and becoming Sony’s second biggest UK release so far on PlayStation 4 (behind Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End).

Equally impressive, it’s the fifth best-selling new IP across ALL publishers and platforms, with the game only bettered by Destiny (PS4), Watch Dogs (PS4), The Getaway (PS2) and The Last of Us (PS3).

In other UK chart news, Mario & Sonic: Rio 2016 Olympic Games climbed up to 15th place, no doubt due to the ongoing Olympic Games in Rio.

Here’s the GfK Chart-Track top ten:

1. No Man’s Sky / Hello Games / Sony
2. Grand Theft Auto / Rockstar / Take Two
3. Overwatch / Blizzard / Activision
4. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens / TT Games / Warner Bros.

GTA 5 is far from new. The game was initially released in September 2013 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, which makes it even more startling that it’s now sitting atop the UK sales charts.

Atop as in ‘number one’, as in ‘most sold’, as in ‘beating Uncharted 4‘.

Somehow, a three-year old game has fended off much more recent titles.

GTA 5 was re-released on PS4 and Xbox One after its initial launch, but even those updated versions are approaching two years old. The vast majority of the game’s sales are on these two platforms.

One possible explanation for GTA 5’s sudden surge in sales is the release of GTA Online’s newest update, Cunning Stunts, which gives Los Santos the Trackmania treatment. Players are placed in race cars which are subsequently flung across completely improbable racetracks stretching over the skyline of Los Santos.

The full list (below) is dominated by fresh-faced games like Overwatch and Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but at the top of the list things begin to get weird. Rocket League? GTA 5?

And here is that list in full…

1. Grand Theft Auto V
2. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End
3. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens
4. Overwatch
5. FIFA 16
6. Rocket League
7. Doom
8. Call of Duty: Black Ops III
9. Ratchet & Clank
10. Minecraft (Xbox edition)
11. Tom Clancy’s The Division
12.  Star Wars Battlefront
13. Lego Marvel Avengers
14. Minecraft: Story Mode
15. UFC 2
16. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6: Siege
17.  Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
18. Lego Jurassic World
19.  Fallout 4
20. Pokémon Omega Ruby
21. Minecraft (PlayStation Edition)
22. Homefront: The Revolution
23. Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games
