The first big new releases of 2017 failed to make much of an impact on the UK chart, with Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King for 3DS opening in 13th and PlayStation 4-exclusive Gravity Rush 2 debuting in 16th.
For the second time this year, Grand Theft Auto V took home 1st place, fending off FIFA 17 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare yet again. Further down the chart, Overwatch is back in the top 10 for the first time since week 45 last year.
