This week in the UK charts, there aren’t any changes at the top at all! April’s major Switch release, Nintendo Switch Sports<\/a>, has held on firmly to the number one spot, with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga<\/a> also keeping its position right behind the motion-controlled game.<\/p>\n

Some other Switch games have seen a nice little boost this week \u2014 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a> is a mainstay in the top ten, but it’s climbed back into fourth, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land<\/a> has climbed all the way from ninth to fifth. It seems like a lot of people can’t get enough of the first proper 3D Kirby game, and we don’t blame you!<\/p>\n

One surprise sees Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle<\/a> hop back into the top 40, sitting pretty at 36, even outselling Breath of the Wild<\/a>. There have been a number of buyout rumours<\/a> around the game’s developer Ubisoft, which has some of us worried considering we’ve heard next to nothing about the sequel, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope<\/a>, since its reveal at E3 last year.<\/p>\n

Outside of Nintendo-related games, the top ten has seen the sudden return of the PC and PlayStation martial arts brawler Sifu<\/a>, after not even being in the top 40 for a good few weeks. Perhaps last week’s update \u2014 which our sister site Push Square covered<\/a> \u2014 drew in a lot of new players?<\/p>\n
