The latest UK boxed charts are here and it’s a familiar scene for many, with no new entries into the top ten for this week (Cuphead’s physical release came in at number eighteen, with the Switch version making up 79% of the copies sold).<\/p>\n

God of War Ragnarok reclaimed the crown to come in at number one, climbing up two spots from last time, which GamesIndustry attributes to an increase in PS5 stock for the UK. Meanwhile, FIFA 23 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II slip down one spot each, with sales down 18% and 14% respectively. The Switch version of FIFA 23 continues to perform moderately well, making up 24% of the total split between platforms.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, it’s another strong showing from Nintendo this week, with Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Nintendo Switch Sports, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons all making their usual appearances. Elsewhere, Sega’s Sonic Frontiers also climbed up one spot from last week, with the Switch version once again out-performing the competition with 47% of the split.<\/p>\n
