Assassin’s Creed Syndicate drops two places to nine, while a massive Xbox 360 and PS3 price cut sees Battlefield 4 re-enter the chart at ten.

The race for the 2015 Christmas number one is over, and ​it’s good news for Call of Duty.

Black Ops 3 has retained its place at the top of the all-format gaming chart, making it the sixth Call of Duty to top the chart at Christmas.

The PS4 version of Star Wars: Battlefront PS4 was actually the single biggest-selling game of the week, but Black Ops 3 made more combined sales.

Minecraft Story Mode, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate and Just Cause 3 chart at five, six and seven, while GTA 5, Rainbow Six: Siege and Uncharted Collection make up the remainder of the top ten.
