GfK's weekly UK physical game sales report for the week ending April 17, 2026, delivers the first retail figures for Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream.
Nintendo's latest release debuted at No.1 on the physical charts, topping Square Enix's Pragmata and displacing other recent releases.
According to the GfK Top Ten for the week, Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream entered the chart at number one in its first tracking week.
Pragmata placed second, with a platform split heavily weighted toward PlayStation 5 (81%), followed by Switch 2 (13%) and Xbox Series consoles (6%).
Resident Evil Requiem was third, with the majority of sales on PC (62%), a sizable portion on PS5 (33%), and smaller shares on Switch 2 (4%) and Xbox Series (2%).
Christopher Dring of The Game Business reported that Tomodachi Life's physical launch outsold Nintendo's other recent cozy release, Pokémon Pokopia, by 36% in the UK physical market.
Dring also suggested that platform install bases and supply dynamics — including the larger existing Nintendo Switch installed base relative to the newer Switch 2 and reported supply constraints for Pokopia at launch — were factors worth noting when interpreting the numbers.
