It’s Monday again and you know what that means. That’s right, it’s time for this week’s UK gaming charts!

Continuing last week’s unsurprising success for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (no, not that one), this week sees Activision’s shooter once again in the top spot. What follows is a barrage of Nintendo-friendly titles in yet another strong week for the Big N.

Primary among these is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which bounces back into the upper echelons of the charts in third place, followed by the likes of ranking classics – Nintendo Switch Sports, Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Minecraft (will they ever be stopped?)

It has once again been a good week of sales for relative newbies Splatoon 3 and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. These are both titles that we had a great time with so we are happy to see their continued success.

Anywho, that’s quite enough chit chat from us. Here’s your look at this week’s UK gaming charts:
