Injustice 2 first fighting game to top the UK chart in over two years

Injustice 2 is number one in the UK charts this week. The new release is the first fighting game to top the rankings in over two years, since Mortal Kombat X back in April 2015.

PlayStation VR game Farpoint entered in second place - the highest a PSVR game has achieved, although the peripheral and its launch line-up debuted at a much busier time of year.

Nintendo also got a new title in the top 10 - Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia scored fifth.

Sci-fi role-player The Surge squeaked into 10th position, while the physical version of sandbox game Portal Knights was new in 30th.
