Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/mario_kart_8_deluxe\">Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a> maintains its current position at number four, which it has held for the last three weeks running. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/animal_crossing_new_horizons\">Animal Crossing New Horizons<\/a> has dropped a few spots, but is still holding on strong, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/nintendo_switch_sports\">Nintendo Switch Sports<\/a> maintains its own position at number eight for the second week in a row.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, as expected, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/hogwarts_legacy\" class=\"external\">Hogwarts Legacy<\/a> continues to dominate at the top of the pack, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/fifa_23\">FIFA 23<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/god_of_war_ragnarok\" class=\"external\">God of War Ragnarok<\/a> flipping around that second and third position, something both games have been maintaining for several weeks now.<\/p>\n<p>We mentioned earlier, of course, that there are no new releases in the top ten, however <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/theatrhythm_final_bar_line\">Theatrhythm Final Bar Line<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/tales_of_symphonia_remastered\">Tales of Symphonia: Remastered<\/a> both show up at the sixteenth and seventeenth spots respectively. Tales of Symphonia sold particularly well on Switch, making up 61% of the split, but obviously keep in mind that these charts are for physical copies only.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s your look at the full UK charts:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Last Week<\/th>\n<th>This Week<\/th>\n<th>Game<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>Hogwarts Legacy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>FIFA 23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>God of War Ragnarok<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>9<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>Minecraft<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>11<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>Grand Theft Auto V<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>Nintendo Switch Sports<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>Animal Crossing New Horizons<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>16<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Splatoon 3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>[Compiled by GfK]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2023\/02\/uk-charts-pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-fall-out-of-the-top-ten-in-a-week-of-stiff-competition\">&lt; Last week&#8217;s charts<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><em>Have you purchased any of the top ten this week?
