Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has taken the No.1 spot in week 50 of the UK Video Game Chart, with next week’s list deciding which title will take the Christmas No.1 crown.

Following Black Ops 3 are Star Wars Battlefront and FIFA 16, each with a great chance of surging to the top next week. Battlefront in particular could ride the Force Awakens hype train all the way to Christmas glory.

Fallout 4 takes No.4, Minecraft: Story mode climbs two places to No.5, Just Cause 3 drops to No.6 and Rainbow Six: Siege is down three places to No.9.

Retailer price promotions helped Assassin’s Creed Syndicate climb five into No.7.

The week’s only new entry is The Sims 4 expansion Get Together at No.38.
