It’s time for the UK charts, and once again, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is on top, despite Capcom’s much-anticipated launch Street Fighter 6.
It’s a remarkable achievement for a game that has not only topped the charts for four weeks in a row, but is only available on one platform. Street Fighter 6 is, of course, a cross-platform title and, well… it is Street Fighter, For God’s sake! Well done, Zelda.
On the other hand, the Switch version of FIFA 23 sold relatively well this week, accounting for 35% of the platform share versus PS5’s 28%, which allowed the game to settle in third place. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild also maintained its position at number seven, with Animal Crossing: New Horizons sneaking in behind to come in at number eight.
Perhaps most surprising, however, is the inclusion Evercade Team 17 Amiga Collection 1 at number forty! Considering that the Evercade is undoubtedly a niche device for a certain audience, it’s very pleasing to see one of its tanks enter the ranks.
A few more things to note: Minecraft and Minecraft Legends basically swapped positions this week, with Minecraft jumping up the rankings to number 12 and Minecraft Legends dropping to number twenty-eight, so there you go. Finally, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum it dropped completely after launch sales and is now not in the top forty at all. Nasty Hobbits.
So let’s take a look at this week’s top forty in full:
