The latest UK charts are in, and for anybody waiting on that big Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia<\/a> physical rebound… keep waiting.<\/p>\n

Despite putting up some impressive digital sales, Ditto’s latest continues to struggle on the physical front, thanks to stock issues, and takes a tumble down to sixth place this time. There was a similar downward trend for Resident Evil Requiem<\/a>, which, despite three weeks in the top spot, now finds itself in fourth.<\/p>\n

That leaves the podium open! Naturally, EA SPORTS FC 26<\/a> and Mario Kart World<\/a> fill in silver and bronze, but it’s Pearl Abyss’ Crimson Desert<\/a> that makes its chart debut in first place.<\/p>\n

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