Previously known as Fifa, the Electronic Arts (EA) football series ditched the sport’s governing body’s name after almost 30 years.
Experts previously told the BBC that Fifa’s success owed a lot to the deals allowing it to use player’s faces and accurate replica kits.
And EA made a big point of stressing that it had kept hold of those for its rebranded title, making itself the only game in town if you wanted to play as your footballing idol.
Elsewhere, ERA said Hogwarts Legacy was the second-best selling game in the UK, followed by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was in ninth place, despite Nintendo keeping digital sales data secret, and Diablo 4 was 10th.
CEO Kim Bayley said gaming “continued to show its ability to connect with people” last year, and despite the modest growth the industry “remains a leviathan”.
