The latest UK charts data is in, and it’s another quiet week in the land of the Nintendo Switch. Indeed, while we have a few Switch-compatible games in the top ten, the first-party offering just doesn’t seem to be performing quite as consistently as it used to.<\/p>\n

Shock, right? With the new Switch 2 on the horizon, it seems that folks may simply be opting to wait out the next several weeks in favour of the new, shiny console. Take Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a>, for instance: while the game has comfortably inhabited the top ten for weeks on end, it’s now sitting at number 12. Still impressive, mind you, but when both Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate<\/a> and Mortal Kombat 1<\/a> are beating it, we have to imagine the sales have probably dropped off significantly.<\/p>\n

It’ll be interesting to see just how things look come mid-June. We imagine several Switch 2 games will storm to the top of the pack, but with digital games priced lower than physical for the new console, we also reckon a good number of folks will skip boxed copies this time around.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the full top 40 for this week, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles as well as the Switch:<\/p>\n\nLast Week
