It&#8217;s not a surprise in the slightest, mind you \u2013 most people keen to pick up Rebirth on Switch 2 will have likely done so in the first week, and with 98% of the split still attributed to Switch 2, the fast drop-off is expected.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, there&#8217;s not a peep of <strong>Mortal Kombat<\/strong> this week after two titles made the top 10 last time \u2013 did we jinx it by calling it out? Nah, the more likely scenario is they&#8217;ve probably gone back up in price after a period of heavy discounts.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/ea-sports-fc-26\">EA SPORTS FC 26<\/a> is back on top as the World Cup 2026 kicks off. We&#8217;re actually not convinced that many people really care about this year&#8217;s tournament, but we&#8217;d wager it&#8217;s probably had at least <em>some<\/em> impact to help FC 26 claw its way back to number 1.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the full top 40, with platform breakdowns for games available on Switch, Switch 2, and other consoles:<\/p>\n<table class=\"table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Last Week<\/th>\n<th>This Week<\/th>\n<th>Game<\/th>\n<th>Platform Split<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>13<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>EA Sports FC 26<\/td>\n<td>PS5 37%, PS4 23%, Switch 21%, Switch 2 10%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>007 First Light<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>Resident Evil Requiem<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>PC 66%, PS5 23%, Switch 2 9%, Xbox 2%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>9<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Mario Kart World<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>7<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Call of Duty: Black Ops 7<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>15<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>F1 25<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>16<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>Switch 2 59%, Switch 41%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>12<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>11<\/td>\n<td>Minecraft<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>27<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<td>Tekken 8<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>10<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>13<\/td>\n<td>Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>18<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>14<\/td>\n<td>Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/td>\n<td>Switch 65%, Switch 2 35%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>20<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>15<\/td>\n<td>Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>25<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>16<\/td>\n<td>Donkey Kong Bananza<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>11<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>17<\/td>\n<td>Ghost of Yotei<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>18<\/td>\n<td>Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition<\/td>\n<td>PS5 76%, Switch 2 23%, Xbox 0%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>24<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>19<\/td>\n<td>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>22<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>20<\/td>\n<td>Super Mario Bros.
