Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is this year's Christmas Number One

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla has scored this year’s Entertainment All Software Charts Christmas Number One.


The Viking themed open world title made its Christmas wish come true by dashing up from number 4 in the charts in week 50 to top spot in the all important festive chart.


As well as being the first time that an Assassin’s Creed game has secured the Christmas number one, Valhalla also managed to become only the third game in 15 years to prevent either of the latest entries in the FIFA or Call of Duty series from topping the list.


In other notable chart news, Cyperpunk 2077 saw the Christmas number one slip through its fingers as it dropped to number three in the charts on the back of a torrid week of refund related news.


There was also a big climb for Ring Fit Adventure, which leapt seven places to return to the top ten as players spent pounds to help take them off in the run up to the big day.
