We are back again with another look at the UK boxed charts, and much like we had hoped last week<\/a>, Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition<\/a> has spiced things up a little.<\/p>\n

Yes, the latest addition to the ‘Switch 2 Edition’ line-up has performed predictably well in its debut week, bumping up to second place, with a 59% split of console sales coming from the new hardware \u2014 the ver. 3.0 update<\/a> likely helped the S1 sales too. It’s not enough to knock Mario Kart World<\/a> from the top spot, but we weren’t expecting a miracle.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full top 40, with platform breakdowns for games available on Switch, Switch 2, and other consoles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
