Civilization VII
Image: 2K

This week in the UK, Sid Meier's Civilization VII makes its debut and starts off strong at number 2, beating the likes of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but not quite able to topple the might of EA Sports FC 25.

Still, can't complain, and the Switch version in particular has done pretty well, outselling PC and Xbox to claim 27% of the overall platform split. Granted, PC is barely operational in retail spaces these days, and Xbox... well, neither is Xbox, to be honest. We'll take the win, though.

Elsewhere, It Takes Two saw a nice bump in sales to re-enter the charts at number 16, The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II made its debut at 25, and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD continues its gradual downward trend.

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:
