GfK's weekly UK boxed charts for the week ending June 26, 2026, deliver the first retail snapshot for Star Fox on Nintendo's next console.

According to GfK data, Star Fox debuted at No.1 on the UK physical sales chart for that week, giving publishers and retailers an early read on demand for Switch 2 releases.

Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition—another high-profile release that week—entered the chart at No.12.

Context and significance

Star Fox's No.1 placement on the physical chart is notable as one of the first public sales indicators for Nintendo's new platform, listed in GfK's data under "Switch 2." This weekly chart is a key signal for the UK market, where boxed sales still represent a meaningful share of fortnightly revenue for major releases.

GfK's report provides platform-share breakdowns for several multi-platform sellers, which help illustrate where demand is concentrated across PS5, PC, Switch and Switch 2.

Rewritten statement for clarity

GfK's data shows Star Fox claimed the top spot in physical sales for the week.

The game's lower retail price versus other Switch 2 releases was suggested as a possible factor helping its strong physical performance.
