The UK boxed charts are in and this week continues the World Cup-inspired triumph of FIFA 23, with the latest entry in EA's football series taking home the trophy once again.

It is a slightly quieter one for Nintendo this week, with the other home consoles dominating the top three spots. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet drop down a number of places once again - not that this really affects their record-breaking opening - and Sonic Frontiers continues to hang on in the top 10 after those stellar Black Friday discounts persuaded many on Switch to give it a go (the Switch accounted for 36% of the game's total sales, while the PS5 took home 38% and the Xbox Series and PS4 made up 14% and 11% respectively).

There are, of course, the Nintendo staples in the chart once again this week, with yet another strong showing from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Nintendo Switch Sports and Minecraft. The recent influx of new titles has meant that the likes of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Splatoon 3 have fallen out of the ranking this time (finding themselves at 11th and 13th), though we imagine both will spring back into action as we draw closer to Christmas.

Anywho, that's quite enough chit chat from us. Here's your look at this week's UK gaming charts:
