Very little has occurred within this week’s UK retail (physical) chart, right down to a top four that remains unchanged. This means EA Sports FC 26 is no.1, followed by Mario Kart World, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Then at #5 it’s Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – meaning two Mario …
The UK’s Christmas no.1 is…Kylie Minogue with XMAS! No, wait – we’re looking at the wrong chart. It’s actually the venerable EA Sports FC 26 that takes no.1 in the all formats retail top 40.

Making way for Mario, Donkey Kong Bananza …

Not much is going on within the latest UK retail chart, with no new arrivals to speak of. That’s no surprise considering not even the Switch saw a single new physical release last week.

Nintendo controls the UK physical (retail) chart this week, with Mario Kart World claiming a third consecutive no.1. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition also rose to #2 (up from #5) which appears to be down to a combination of sales from the Switch 2 and PC versions. This would suggest that Switch 2 stock was replenished …
It seems that the glitzy trailers for MindsEye were enough to secure a bunch of pre-orders. The critically panned shooter, which currently has a 37% Metacritic due to being blatantly unfinished, managed to enter at #4 in the UK’s all formats physical chart. It also managed to top the PS5 top ten and make #2 …
The UK retail (physical) charts are in, revealing which titles were purchased alongside a shiny new Switch 2 last week. The fact that nearly every physical release available on day one can be found within this week’s all formats top 40 suggests a strong launch. The only no show was Sid Meier’s Civilization VII.
