LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga<\/a> is off to a fantastic start in the UK, sitting atop the top ten boxed charts and knocking Kirby and the Forgotten Land<\/a> down into second place.<\/p>\n

It’s no surprise either; excitement for the revamped LEGO game covering all nine mainline Star Wars<\/strong> films was sky-high, and we thought it was an excellent take on the franchise, awarding it a 9\/10 in our review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

LEGO Harry Potter Collection<\/a> also received a nice boost, coming in at number fifteen. It sold gangbusters on the Switch, taking in 63% of sales on Nintendo’s console, whereas the PS4 took 21%, and the Xbox One took 16%.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, it’s business as usual, with the likes of Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Arceus<\/a>, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a>, Minecraft<\/a>, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a> all enjoying strong sales and retaining visibility within the top ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
