Best-Selling Video Games of 2016

The top 100 on Amazon UK that year.

A definitive look back at the 2016 Amazon UK chart. Click any cover to find it on Amazon.

FIFA 17 tops the chart, but the year belongs to Sony's PS4 line-up beneath it: Battlefield 1, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare all cluster at the top. The pattern is PlayStation dominance plus a Pokémon resurgence, with Sun and Moon charting on 3DS. Online-driven games break through — Overwatch, Rocket League and No Man's Sky all appear. The Sony PlayStation VR charts as headline hardware, signalling VR's arrival. Surprises include the Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration Artbook Edition. A mid-generation peak, with the PS4 Pro era about to begin.
