After a slight delay this week, the UK Charts are finally in, and it's another quiet one in the region that sees Mario Kart 8 Deluxe retain its crown for a second week running.
The top 10 has seen a bit of a shake up, though, with Mortal Kombat 1 storming to 3rd place while Hogwarts Legacy takes a bit of a tumble down into 10th. A few fresh faces re-enter the top 40 too, with the likes of Lego City Undercover, Pokémon Scarlet, and even Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered poking their heads out of the sand.
So yes, a bit of a so-so week in the world of gaming, but hopefully titles like Black Myth: Wukong and Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club will mix things up a bit in the coming weeks. It'll be interesting to see how the latter performs in particular.
Here's your look at this week's top 40 in full, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles alongside the Switch:

Did you pick up anything new this week? Let us know what you think of the latest charts in the comments below.

Mario Kart is an absolute menace, ain't it? Unbelievable how well it just keeps on selling, doesn't everyone with a Switch own the game at this point?
Hogwarts Legacy (switch version) still selling well? Amazing! Must be a good game and well made port.
Also no surprise Mario Kart is still king.
Like you said… Mario kart 8s success is wild. How can you make a sequel that will compete?
More than 8 Deluxe on top as much as I'm glad for it, I'm surprised to see Hogwarts Legacy much lower than usual (even though luckily still in the top 10 and selling more on Switch) in the UK.
Anyway, love to see Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, Switch Sports and Wonder in the top 10, The Skywalker Saga quite higher and selling way better on Switch than elsewhere and so on!
The only thing I wish they change in the next game is to make it a little bit more fair. I mean, randomness of the race is fine. But if you are the best by far and lose to a blue shell it feels wrong.
One of the all time great games.
Well deserved.
got the witcher (on disc) 3 for ps5 last week, never played it, never got into the game on other systems, but many people recommended this game, so this bothered me i have to play it.
now at 35 hours gameplay, and i am just hooked to this game it is so good.
I’m really looking forward to the rest of the year, as we’ll soon be having big releases come out practically on a weekly schedule. Jeez, do we need some fresh life into the release schedule!
Are there two Witcher 3's?
The Witcher III: Wild Hunt GOTY Edition PC 73%, PS4 18%, Xbox 9%, Switch 0%
The Witcher III: Wild Hunt Complete Edition -> all Switch?
@Yosher Everytime someone sees it in store they pick up 2 more copies just to be on the safe side.
@kmtrain83 GOTY Edition is available on Switch, it just didn't sell any copies last week.
Complete Edition is the current-gen version, so it's on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
It's a bit daft, because the Switch version is called the 'Complete Edition', but GfK list it as the GOTY Edition. I think it's just to differentiate it from the PS5/Series versions.
MK8 charting = Switch Selling
I don't think we'll see the last of MK8 in the chart till the Switch 2 and Mario Kart 9 and even then it might still hang in there.
@beltmenot At this point I wouldn't be surprised lol.
@beartown if you can't survive a blue shell, you aren't the best. You just got got ahead of the red shell group and only had to deal with the banana and green shell group.
If a blue shell knocks you out, than you weren't far enough ahead of the people dealing with red shells the ENTIRE race.
@Krytture your comment makes no sense whatsoever, sorry.
"Hey Nintendo, why don't you give us a cheaper Player Selects range?"
This. It is insane this is still topping charts after all those years. I don't know if it speaks only of its popularity, or of the lesser quality of current game releases.
