Gears of War: Ultimate Edition won the battle of the exclusives in this week’s U.K. all-formats games chart.

The Xbox One remake of the original Gears of War third-person shooter beat PlayStation 4’s exclusive horror-adventure Until Dawn to the No. 1 sales spot, reports MCV. Summer is a traditionally quiet time for new game releases, and it’s great to see two platform-exclusive titles battling it out for sales toward the end of the season.

Other notable entries in the chart — which doesn’t currently factor in digital sales — include Bethesda’s updated Dishonored: Definitive Edition at No. 7 and the newly released Madden NFL 16 at No. 4, flying the flag for U.S. sports in the U.K.

Here’s how the full U.K. all-formats chart for the week ending August 29 looks.
