Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Legendary first person shooter receives Christmas No.1 spot in the UK chart!

Now we all knew that this was coming and, sure enough, the COD franchise has done it and taken the Christmas No.1 spot in the UK all-formats chart with ‘Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’. Thanks to a PS4 bundle promotion, the game overtook FIFA 15 in the eleventh hour!

Activision’s shooter series has now topped the UK Christmas chart on five separate occasions.. Wow! FIFA 15 was the clear frontrunner, but has now dropped into second place. 

Amazingly, a 97% surge in sales managed to see ‘Assassin’s Creed: Unity’ into fifth place. ‘The Crew’ also saw a similar push and has taken the sixth spot, as retailers lowered the game’s price by at least £15.

Below are the final top ten all-format games which made it in!

1. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

2. FIFA 15

3. Grand Theft Auto V

4. Far Cry 4

5. Assassin’s Creed: Unity

6. The Crew

7. Destiny

Ubisoft’s biggest games of 2014 are axed from Steam in the UK.
Assassin’s Creed: Unity, The Crew and Far Cry 4 are nowhere to be seen. Not even on Steam’s US site…

None of the aforementioned three games are available through Steam’s US store. Here is what was originally voiced in the first place:

Far Cry 4, Assassin’s Creed: Unity and The Crew will only be available to PC gamers in Britain via Ubisoft’s uPlay store. In light of this, a Ubisoft representative has voiced that the decision was not final.

“We’ve been in discussions with Valve about Assassin’s Creed Unity but for the time being the game is not available via Steam in the UK,” Ubisoft have said. “In the meantime, UK customers wishing to purchase the game digitally can do so by visiting the Uplay store, our retail partners or other digital distributors.”

Although the Steam editions of these games will not be available in Britain, they will still be able to be purchased digitally through GreenManGaming and uPlay.

The reason for these three games’ absence on the Steam website is unclear, though games do not tend to appear on the platform due to legal reasons. For example, back in 2011, EA removed some of it’s games from Steam over DLC royalty rates disagreements. As well as this, Steam owner Valve have run into a number of disputes in the past regarding EU law.
