The onslaught of new releases on other platforms continues to dominate the UK physical game charts this week, as yet another PS5 and Xbox Series game clinches the top spot.

WWE 2K25 slams into first place, knocking last week's number one Split Fiction comfortably down to fourth. We don't think Hazelight will mind too much, though, given that the game has already sold well over 2 million copies. We'll ask again: Switch 2 when?

Anyway, EA Sports FC 25 returns to the top ten this week, jumping from 11th to 3rd. Sales are an even split between PS5 and Switch, with 37% of all copies sold on each platform. The remaining split goes to PS4 (20%) and Xbox Series (6%).

That's the only Switch game in the top five, too, as Astro Bot — 2024's Game of the Year winner — pips Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to the number five spot. Minecraft, Super Mario Party Jamboree, and Nintendo Switch Sports keep bringing in the numbers, with Super Mario Bros. Wonder continuing to creep up, likely thanks to those MAR10 deals.

Otherwise, MySims Cozy Bundle returns to the charts in 16th, while Suikoden I & II HD Remaster slips from 4th to 30th. The Switch version of the latter is the best-selling physical version in the UK, however, with 56% of sales attributed to the Nintendo release compared to 39% on PS% and 6% on Xbox.

That's enough waffle from us, though — 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:

How many years has Mario Kart now been in the top 10-20?
crazy

 

[Scrawnton]

Confused as to why it's a "quiet week for Nintendo" when they have several games selling well despite not releasing a new game since November (M&L) and they are well past the end game with their 8 year old system.

Because it's the first time in a long while there hasn't been a Nintendo game in the top five, and you've explained the reason why that is.

 

[Windle Poons]

Still baffles me every time that fifa is there despite there being about six weeks left of the season.

Astrobot is like a shock of reality for all the Sony western devs. Imagine being neck to neck with Mario Kart 8.

The game is a good seller but it never had a huge release in the first place. It's at like...3 or 4M at best at this point.

Spider-Man 2, GOW Ragnarok, etc sold more on day one.

If anything i hope this is a wake up call to Sony in the way that AA cheaper titles are worth it. I'm sure Astrobot has been paid for since its release. Made in Japan by 60 people...so 1M probably covered all costs.

They know, which is why they used to dabble in that sort of thing. But, the PS3 was a tough moment for them and they realized it would take more than Fat Princess and Journey to get things going.

With things now established and much better for their platform, they can go back to smaller release like Astro, while also keeping their God of Wars/Spider-Mans/other huge sellers in the mix as well.

Good job Astrobot is holding on to the top.

 

[xenosys]

Astrobot getting a big boost off those bundled deals.
