UK Charts: Nintendo Switch Sports Is Number One For A Third Week
It’s a very similar story in this week’s UK charts. The top two spots remain unchanged for the third week in a row — Nintendo Switch Sports and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga‘s universal appeal means they are the top two selling boxed games this week.
Third and fourth are also exactly the same as last week, as Sony exclusive Horizon Forbidden West and chart favourite Mario Kart 8 Deluxe keep a grip on their places. Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Animal Crossing: New Horizons are both comfy in the top ten this week, and FIFA 22 — after slipping out two weeks in a row — just sneaks back in.
There’s only one new game this week: PlayStation and Xbox’s multiplayer survival horror Evil Dead: The Game. Based on the movie franchise of the same name, the game debuts this week at a solid fifth.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land has slipped out of the top ten pretty hard this week. Sadly for the pink puffball, he’s dropped 20 places from fifth to 25th, and while the game is almost two months old now, but we can’t help but be a little disappointed.
