U.K. Charts: Payday 2 robs Minecraft of pole position

Overkill’s heist-‘em-up Payday 2 has rocketed to the top of the U.K. All Format Charts following its launch last week.

Unlike its predecessor, Payday 2 was released at retail and as a digital download, with sales enough to supplant Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition from its no.1 crown.

As a result, Minecraft drops to second place, followed by a rejuvenated Call of Duty: Black Ops II. FIFA 14 and Animal Crossing: New Leaf make up the Top 5.

Aside from that, there is little else to talk about, so check out the full charts below.
