We're a little over three weeks away from the launch of the Switch 2, which means that the UK charts this week once again offers no major surprises.
Having said that, Minecraft on Switch has continued its upward trajectory to land at number two this week, falling under the sole shadow of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at the top spot. Word of mouth is really doing this one a world of good, and we can imagine it placing quite high for several weeks to come.
Elsewhere, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is back in top ten at number eight, and so is Grand Theft Auto V at number five. The latter has no doubt benefitted from the uptick in excitement for the upcoming sequel, which received its second trailer this last week.
Here's a look at the full top 40 for this week, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles as well as the Switch:

Fantastic for Clair Obscur. A great example of success from just word-of-mouth, because people are genuinely enjoying a good gaming experience.
Love to see Clair Obscure on top - fingers crossed it will eventually come also to Switch 2 to have the chance to play it myself (and many others along with me I bet)!
In addition to that, personally I'm also happy to see Astro Bot in 3rd, Monster Hunter Wilds in 7th, Indiana Jones in 9th, The Witcher III in 10th and 15th, Jamboree in 11th, Elden Ring in 12th, Hogwarts Legacy in 13th and still selling the most on Switch, Switch Sports in 16th, New Horizons in 17th, Split Fiction in 18th etc.!
I wonder how many regretted their Switch Minecraft purchase a couple of hours later. Once you start exploring it becomes a big turd.
Never really looked before but a lot of older games in there.
I really hope they add the vibrant visuals to Switch (2?)
wow, they really nailed it with clair obscure. Wonder what Ubisoft might be thinking now
@JohnnyMind Yes, although I don't have the hardware right now to pick it up for myself, Clair Obscur looks straight up my alley, and so it is really lovely to see a game doing so well on a mandate of quality alone.
Probably would not hurt for a little sort of price cut deal on the original Switch, like they do at Christmas, maybe a bundle deal, just to keep better momentum going for switch and its games.
Wow hogwarts took a big plunge this week!
Love to see Dog Man have a turn on the list (big fan since 2nd grade♥️)
@smeggysmeg At least one person. Guess who?
It's nuts that MK8D has been in the top 10 more often than not since it came out until the release of its sequel. No wonder Nintendo saw it as their most suitable launch title. Looks like GTAV is pulling that off too. Nice!
It just shows how well Ninty have been doing in UK when this is considered a quiet week - I can still count 8 first party titles in the top 40 and then plenty of other Switch games. This would have been an awesome week in the dark days of the WiiU
I hope they bring Clair Obscure to switch 2. It may take a while but that looks like the kind of game I want on the go.
Expedition 33 is the best game I've played in years, maybe since Breath of the Wild or Elden Ring. If it comes to Switch 2, I will pick it up. I'm playing it currently on Game Pass, but it's worth buying to support the devs.
This goes to show that good word of mouth and critical acclaim do actually make a difference. Not often a game debuts at No4, then moves up to No1 the following week. Really hope Clair Obscur comes to Switch 2!
