The latest UK Charts are in and, look, we'll be honest folks, it's not a particularly spectacular week in the land of gaming; particularly for Nintendo fans (though that will no doubt change when Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom drops).
At the top, PS5's Astro Bot has managed to claim victory after a bit of a slower than expected start. Meanwhile, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is still performing remarkably strong, maintaining its spot at number two for a second week.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has seen a nice little boost, rising five spots from last week to take the bronze medal, while Balatro's physical debut sees strong sales on Switch specifically, accounting for 75% of the total platform split.
Otherwise, it's pretty much business as usual, and the lack of anything that makes us raise our eyebrows and go "oooh" kind of underscores the need for something huge to drop in the coming weeks. Indeed, a new Zelda game will undoubtedly shake things up nicely when Echoes of Wisdom launches on 26th September.
Here's a look at this week's top 40 in full, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles alongside the Switch:
