Animal Crossing: New Horizons Beats Doom Eternal In UK, Secures No. 1 Spot In Weekly Sales Chart

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been crossing all the other games in multiple lists to become the top-selling game. This time around, it’s in the United Kingdom, where Tom Nook’s friends beat Doom Eternal to get Animal Crossing: New Horizons the no. 1 spot in the weekly sales chart.

Both the games were released on the same day, i.e., March 20. Although Doom Eternal has its own fanbase, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is loved by everyone. Even for newer players, Animal Crossing: New Horizons feels like home.
