The latest UK charts data has arrived, bringing with it a new number one and a familiar slate of Switch titles in the top 10.

Nintendo Switch Sports remains as the best-performing Switch title, sliding down one position to 3rd for the last week – it’s showing solid momentum at retail. Horizon Forbidden West continues to go well on PS5, helped by hardware stock and bundles, but the new number one this week is Sniper Elite 5; the vast majority of its sales were on PS4/PS5, with its presence on Game Pass perhaps contributing to low Xbox sales.

Otherwise, the top 10 is very familiar from a Switch perspective, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Pokemon Legends: Arceus still around. Minecraft (Switch edition) is also performing well, and it’s worth noting that a combination of a lower price, promotions and late-season life meant that a whopping 49% of FIFA 22 sales were the Switch version.

One final note – The House of the Dead: Remake made its chart debut from the launch of the physical Switch edition, securing 14th place.
