8 views

The latest UK sales charts show Mario Kart World maintaining its number one position after the Switch 2’s successful release. Additionally, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains strong in sixth place, highlighting Nintendo’s continued popularity.

Other Switch 2 titles such as Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom experienced slight drops, but none significant enough to cause concern. Conversely, Capcom’s Street Fighter 6: Years 1-2 Fighters Edition fell sharply to 21st, possibly linked to the introduction of Game-Key Cards.

A couple of Resident Evil games re-entered the top 40, likely influenced by the recent announcement of Resident Evil Requiem. Fans remain hopeful for Switch 2 versions in the future.

Newly released MindsEye impressively debuted at number four, marking a notable entry in the charts.

Below is the top 10 list with platform sales breakdown for multi-platform titles:

  • 1. Mario Kart World
  • 2. EA Sports FC 25 (Switch 35%, PS4 28%, PS5 20%, Xbox 17%)
  • 3. Hogwarts Legacy (Switch 71%, Switch 2 19%, PS5 5%, Xbox 2%)
