The latest UK charts are in, and despite it including Black Friday, there are very few changes to the numbers in the top ten.<\/p>\n

The biggest surprise is the absence of Kirby Air Riders<\/a> from the top 40. Yep, despite the latest Kirby game almost squeaking inside the top ten last week, the Switch 2 sequel has unfortunately slipped out of the top completely.<\/p>\n

The top ten is very similar to last week, with a few new (returning) additions. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition<\/a> has seen the biggest jump in numbers, going from 24th last week to 6th this week; most of those sales have come from the PC and PS5 versions, but the Switch 2 release has pulled in a solid 9% of sales. Similarly, Just Dance 2026 Edition<\/a>, a Switch 1 exclusive, has also made a huge leap, going from 27th to 9th this week.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, EA SPORTS FC 26<\/a> (With 21% on sold Switch 1, and 8% on Switch 2), Mario Kart World<\/a>, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7<\/a> have all retained their spots from last week.<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A<\/a> has swapped places with Battlefield 6<\/a> for 4th. The Switch 1 and Switch 2 split remains close there, with 54% opting for the Switch 1 version, while the remaining 46% grab it on Switch 2. This obviously doesn’t include those who buy the Upgrade Pack separately.<\/p>\n

So, business as usual, then! Perhaps Metroid Prime 4: Beyond<\/a> will shake things up next week, hm? Here’s the full top 40, with platform breakdowns for games available on Switch, Switch 2, and other consoles:<\/p>\n\nLast Week
