After a pretty lengthy delay, we finally have a look at the latest UK charts, and it's not a great top 10 for the Switch. In fact, only one Nintendo title has made it into the upper echelons this time, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (surprise, surprise) nabbing eighth place.
Elsewhere, the other platforms dominate. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 claims the top spot in its debut week, pushing last week's champ, Astro Bot, down into fourth. Hogwarts Legacy and Elden Ring round out the podium, while newbies Funko Fusion (set to come to Switch in November) and the much-delayed Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown claim the final top 10 spots.
Our money's on Zelda mixing things up next week, but it's hardly the most Nintendo-dominant chart we've seen. Hey, at least EA Sports FC 24 finally dipped from the top 10...
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:

Crazy to me that games like Mortal Kombat X or Bluey or Tales of Symphonia are still in the top 40 and Emio never even broke top 20 (if I'm remembering correctly) and is already out of it. Really enjoyed it but I guess it is rather niche.
Good for Warhammer, but personally what I'm happy to see is Astro Bot still at least in the top five!
Nice to see Cyberpunk 2077 climb back into the top charts.
Amazing game...after a whole lot of updates.
@IceClimbersMain sales in the last week or so have likely made a difference. Mk1 was about £25 I think while very little from Switch was on sale.
Warhammer is decent fun with friends, but maybe that's because we've just been starved for decent co-op shooters that aren't live-service, please-play-me-until-you-die-type experiences.
Wonder what has caused Armored Core to creep back in?
No shade here, I loved that game... just surprised to see it in the top 10 nearly a year(?) or so post-release
@Zaruboggan There's rumors that Warhammer 2 is going to become live service by technicality. Like, a game that won't stop receiving free stuff.
@CJD87 If I had to hazard a guess, Mecha Break is coming out soon.
Bet Visions of Mana would still be there if it was on Switch....
That's the franchise MIA for another 5 years I feel
Still holding out it will come to Switch 2 though! : 0 )
A decent mix overall. Although mainstream sales are beyond stagnant.
Doom. DOOM! Better anounce the Switch 2 now.
@Samalik I bet it will, but by then I'll be long gone lol
No matter how good Mario Kart is it's mindboggling to me how it's still doing so amazing after so long.
Astro Bot deserves another round at #1! Hope it jumps back up next week!
Pretty cool seeing Warhammer at the top of the charts.
Bluey and Transformers Battlegrounds on number 27 and 29. ☺
Well played Warhammer, they deserve it just for their CEO being so based and commenting on how games should be fun and not pushing some moral guidelines on you. We have to endure that stuff nonstop 24/7 everywhere else, leave it out of games...or fail miserably (hi Concord, hi Dustborn!) since the true audience of gamers is done with that nonsense.
That said I've been playing Hogwarts on my Switch and absolutely loving it. That is how you make an open world game engaging throughout (take notes BoTW).
Wow Resident Evil 4: Gold Edition is all the way down at #36, that's almost close to being out of the top 40. I could see why Capcom is choosing not to bring the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection physical cartridge edition to UK, hardly any one is buying Capcom physical games over there. I take back what I said about them screwing their European audience now. It seems to be the other way around.
@Borderlineland I don't think Aonuma's goal for Breath of the Wild is for it to be an open world game. In essence it was suppose to be a return to form to the very first Legend of Zelda where you could go adventure and explore any way you want and end the game at any time you want. Heck you could even go straight to fight Ganon if you so choose. An open world Zelda game had never came to Aonuma's ambition with the Zelda series, people just like to put it in the same genre as Witcher, Skyrim, and Hogwart not knowing it was never meant to be like those.
