The latest UK charts paint a very familiar picture. If you’ve been keeping an eye on things recently, you’ll know that the top ten has largely stayed the same, with Nintendo’s first-party output being nudged out by a handful of newer PlayStation and Xbox games.<\/p>\n

And it’s a similar story again this week. Number one remains the same for the fourth week running, while last week’s hot new release stays in the top five. Minecraft<\/a> and Mortal Kombat 11<\/a> are the highest-charting Switch games on the list (though the latter apparently hasn’t shifted any copies on Switch this week), while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a> attempts to sneak back into the top 10 \u2014 it’s at 11 this week.<\/p>\n

The only new release that’s charted is MotoGP<\/a> 25 at 36, but most copies have been sold on other platforms, with the Switch version only making up 5% of physical sales. Of note is LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga<\/a>, which has jumped from 31 to 16 \u2014 all in aid of Star Wars day, right?<\/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
