The latest UK charts are in and, with only one new release to speak of, the list is much as you might expect.
Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana was the only new entry to the chart this week, just sneaking into the top 40 to land in 38th in its debut week (with a 53%/47% console split for PS5 and Switch, respectively).
Other than that, it's business as usual. EA Sports FC 25 takes the gold, and Switch favourites like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Party Jamboree and Nintendo Switch Sports round out the top 10. Interestingly, It Takes Two has also reappeared out of nowhere to land in 19th — a hangover from "we should play more games together" New Year's resolutions, perhaps.
Here's a look at this week's full top 40, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles as well as the Switch:

BLUEY is back on number 28. 😊
Three Mortal Kombat games all in the top twenty. And there’s me preferring Street Fighter 6 like a lemon! 😂
I am loving “Ys: Felghana” but I am really surprised that all 3 Mortal Kombat games still sell so much.
Glad that Ys Memoire at least made the top 40 even though barely considering it's the UK charts!
Also happy to see Hogwarts Legacy in 2nd and still selling the most on Switch, 8 Deluxe in 7th, Jamboree in 8th and Switch Sports in 9th in particular when it comes to the top 10!
@The_Pixel_King We need the ultimate collab. Injustice Marvel Guilty Tekken Mortal Street King of Samurai Smash Bros vs Capcom: The Game.
It's not surprising to see Ys 3 remake so low, we all know how the UK audience were never that much into RPGs especially JRPG masterpiece like the Oath in Felghana.
Hopefully DKC Returns HD does very well next week.
That's UK, of course that an aRPG won't do well there.
Hogwarts Legacy still doing great!🥳🥳🥳
@Serpenterror remember this is only retail charts YS 3 also got released on PS4 but that version is download only. I bought mine on PS4.
This version has also been available on steam for many years. it would be nice if the remakes of 1&2 also make the jump to newer consoles.
From the outside looking in - I'm in the US - can't say I'm surprised that Ys Memoire: The Oath In Felghana didn't chart high. Especially since it's a cleaned up rerelease of an older ARPG and these charts don't include digital sales. But as one of my favorite games in the Ys series, it still hurts a little.
@Fallingshadow Yeah that's what I want too, I would prefer Ys I & II Chronicles and Ys Memories of Celceta (remake of Ys IV). Even though Memories of Celceta is the fourth game in the series, it actually takes place after Ys I & II and before the event of Ys III (Oath in Felghana) making it an in-between sequel/prequel. What I find odd is that all of the games are called Ys but Ys II is the only game that actually takes place on Ys, every other game takes place outside of Ys though their connection to Ys is minimal. Also the story doesn't go in release order but chronological order: The story starts with Ys Origins, Ys I, Ys II, then Ys X, Ys IV, Ys III, Ys V, Ys VIII, Ys VI, Ys VII, and finally up to Ys IX.
@DripDropCop146 Where can I preorder this wonderfully titled fighter?!
@Tyranexx would you see any issue on getting this having never played an Ys game? I saw a brief gameplay video and really looked my style, curious if lack of context would matter
Really good improved port!
Btw for those who have it, clear every difficulty on Time Attack mode (you have to clear em each seperately, and you can only go up to as hard as the highest difficulty you finished the game in) for a REALLY NEATO BONUSES for Ys fans!
There's a cheat code for essentially near god mode if anyone is having trouble I can give it.
@TechaNinja hi - can you also please see my question above since you seem to be very knowledgeable about the series?
@CammyUnofficial the games come out in a random order in the main character's (Adol Christin) timeline so you can kinda start anywhere inc this one too.
Some games set later in the world will have references or characters from earlier show up. Also its neat to have something like Ys 9 being the oldest we've seen Adol so far (24 years old) then Ys X goes back to just after the first 2 games and Adol is 17 (and his companion / best friend looks so young too)
@TechaNinja thank you for the response, great to know. Looking forward to it moreso now
@CammyUnofficial You can definitely start with this game! While there is lore that connects most of the Ys games, most have self-contained stories and can be played in any order. The only exceptions are Ys I & II - which are normally bundled together anyway - and Ys Origin by extension since it's a prequel of those two. They're very fun ARPGs; this entry plays a lot like a 3D isometric Zelda title, only with jumping, occasional platforming, and item drops for quick bonuses.
Oath in Felghana is a good game. It's easy to compare Ys to Zelda, but I also want to compare it to Castlevania. If you enjoy Castlevania Advance Collection or Dominus Collection, then I would highly recommend Ys Memoire and Ys Origin! To me, it gives a similar energy, with the platforming, monster-bashing, and light RPG elements. And Ys Memoire even has a clock tower area too.
@EarthboundBenjy @Tyranexx thanks for the input, ordered the physical last night
@EarthboundBenjy I both love and dislike the clock tower area lol. It's home to one of my favorite tracks in the game - Sealed Time - but I became fairly frustrated from falling my first time through. That plus a couple other experiences make me think there's something to an anecdote I saw under a YT video once: the better the Ys song, the more likely it is to be set in a hard area. XD
