Just two new releases are present in this week’s UK retail (physical) chart. One can be found towards the top of the chart, the other in the lower echelons.
Despite being released on both Switches, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond makes its debut at #3, with the multiformat EA Sports FC 26 holding onto no.1 and Nintendo’s own Mario Kart World at #2.
It would seem that the Switch 2 version of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was the biggest selling, as in the Switch top 20 it only managed to chart at #10, outsold by Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions at #9.
Also of note is that Kirby Air Riders has already left the top 40 entirely.
Then, all the way down at #37, Square-Enix’s Octopath Traveler 0 makes an appearance. It failed to make a dent in any of the individual format charts. With an 84% Metacritic score, this doesn’t appear to be down the game’s quality. Being based on a mobile game may have put players off.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A remains at #4 in the chart, giving Nintendo another title in the top ten.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 fell to #5, Just Dance 2026 Edition jived to #6 – also topping the Switch chart – Battlefield 6 moved down to #7 (meaning it was outsold by Black Ops 7 last week), Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition shifted to #8, Minecraft re-entered the top ten at #9, and then at #10 it’s Ghost of Yotei – up three places.
Donkey Kong Bananza and Hogwarts Legacy exited the top ten, meanwhile.
EA Sports FC 26 is still no.1 in the PS5, PS4 and Xbox Series charts while Dark Souls Trilogy tops the Xbox One chart.
There’s a 3DS chart this week too, which is a top four with 2016’s Stella Glow at no.1.
