We've got the latest UK charts data and it's looking very similar to last week, albeit with some minor notable changes.
Nintendo Switch Sports, having enjoyed three weeks at the top of the pile, slips down into second place as Horizon: Forbidden West climbs back into number one. The Zero Dawn sequel has enjoyed a significant boost in sales with an increase in PlayStation 5 hardware stock across the UK, along with a brand new bundle containing the game itself.
Otherwise, it's largely business as usual. Evil Dead: The Game slipped out of the top ten into twelfth place, paving the way for Gran Turismo 7 to sneak back in at number ten. The Switch games remain relatively unchanged, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Animal Crossing: New Horizons staying in fourth and ninth place respectively, though Pokemon Legends: Arceus managed to hop up one spot and land into fifth place.
Meanwhile, it seems that everyone who was going to buy Kirby and the Forgotten Land has already picked it up, as the pink blob's latest outing falls out of the top forty altogether, behind the likes of Sonic Forces and Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle.

Good to see Horizon sell well. It's a great game! Nintendo titles selling great too!
Just please people, stop buying GTA V
So basically the top 3 decided to all shift places. Switch Sports is still selling well. I second the first comment, it's good to see Horizon selling well!
Interesting that Animal Crossing is still up there despite the end of updates 6 months ago. Honestly makes me wonder if there'll be a MK8 Deluxe type situation down the line where out of nowhere DLC or updates are announced.
@Grumblevolcano I would enjoy that. I want to go back and play Animal Crossing, but lack of updates gives me nothing to do on my island.
@Grumblevolcano I'm sure the vast majority of buyers don't follow gaming news and have no idea updates are/were even a thing. You can also argue this is the best time to buy the game since you now get the full package and don't have to wait for further updates.
@Andy_C444 I have about 350-360 hours combined on both my Switches. The happy home designer thing isnt really for me. It's neat, but I have only designed like 3-4 homes
@Andy_C444
My gameplay hours of ACNH was 840+ hours.
I have built more than 100 vacation homes at Hapy Home Paradise Island.
My salary from Lottie was 30,000 Poki.
I still keep playing ACNH despite I have tons of backlogs from other machines.
@Axecon Asking people in the UK to stop buying GTA V is like asking water to stop being wet. It ain't gonna happen. But yeah great to see horizen 2 doing so well.
I think Mario Strikers will have a good presence on release in the UK. Europe loves it's football albeit this will be football minus any rules.
@Axecon The only way I'll buy GTA V is if it comes out for Nintendo Switch! If it can play on the 360 and ps3, then it can play on the Nintendo Switch! I'm playing L.A. Noire, Saints Row The Third, Saints Row IV, and The Witcher III all just fine on my Nintendo Switch OLED!
A UK chart without GTAV mid table is not a UK chart.
GTA V is epic! And play pretty well on Steam Deck! Amazing game and infinite Replay Value!
@Grumblevolcano not that it means anything, but I think they said Home Designer DLC was the final major update.
@rockodoodle That's what I'm on about, with MK8 Deluxe the final update was Labo Vehicle Kit and NSO mobile app support in September 2018 then suddenly in February 2022 the Booster Course Pass got announced.
Is this GTA 5 a new entry? Never heard of it!
