UK charts: Switch games account for eight of the top ten
The latest UK rankings are in, and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD still holds the number 3 spot, showing the remake’s strong performance despite some concerns about its price.
In fact, eight of this week’s top 10 games include games available on Switch, with just Grand Theft Auto V (shock) and The Elden Ring Admittedly, physical sales aren’t what they used to be, and we need to look at digital sales to get a full picture of what’s going on in the world of games sales today, but it’s still nice to see the Switch slowly winding down to make way for its successor.
Elsewhere, quite surprisingly, Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain has re-entered the top 40 and peaked at number 39. The game originally launched in late 2021 and wasn’t considered a bestseller, but we’ll take it.
Perhaps more surprising, however, is that Are you smarter than a 5th grader? saw a huge increase in sales and rose to 18th place, with the Switch version capturing 95% of the platform market share. Phew!
