We are back with the latest look at the UK physical gaming chart, and, surprise, surprise, Mario Kart World<\/a> is back at the top of the pile.<\/p>\n

The Switch 2 launch title hit a speed boost this week and cruised past former champion Borderlands 4<\/a> to take the top spot. It was a short-lived triumph for Gearbox’s latest, but we’re sure the Nintendo release in a couple of weeks will help bolster the numbers<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Donkey Kong Bananza<\/a> sticks around in third, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a> is somehow the fifth best-seller, and Trails in the Sky: 1st Chapter<\/a> makes its chart debut at 19th, with 34% of sales coming from the Switch release.<\/p>\n

But that’s quite enough waffling, here’s the full top 40, with platform breakdowns for games available on Switch, Switch 2, and other consoles:<\/p>\n\nLast Week
