We are back with an updated look at the UK physical gaming charts, and once again, there are a few newcomers sprinkled into the mix this week!<\/p>\n

The biggest news for us Switch fans is Mario Tennis Fever<\/a>, which has put up a strong performance in its debut week and finds itself in second \u2014 just one place behind EA SPORTS FC 26<\/a>, which retains its crown.<\/p>\n

A couple of third-party releases have also served some decent numbers in week one, with Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties<\/a> punching up in sixth (only 10% of sales coming on Switch 2, mind), and the excellent Reanimal<\/a> creeping out of the shadows in fourth.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, it’s pretty much business as usual \u2014 though Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a> has finally<\/em> dropped from the top 10 \u2014 so let’s take a look at the full rundown. 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
