GfK's latest UK charts reveal a week of strong new releases and shifting platform splits, with EA Sports FC 27 maintaining the top position for a third consecutive week.
The retail and full-price rankings — compiled by GfK and widely referenced across the industry — highlight several notable entries across Nintendo Switch, the newer Switch 2 platform, PlayStation 5 and Xbox formats.
Top-line movements
EA Sports FC 27 remains number one for a third straight week, driven largely by PS5 sales (59% of the title's UK chart share), with Xbox, Switch and Switch 2 accounting for the remainder.
New releases dominated the remainder of the top five: Star Wars: Galactic Racer debuted at number two, Gears of War: E-Day entered at number three, and Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival landed at number four.
Those newcomers pushed Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts Collection [I~III] down to fifth place, where the Switch 2 accounted for 58% of its UK sales against 42% on PS5.
Rewriting notable statements from the chart summary in journalistic terms: GfK's data shows EA Sports FC 27 holds the top position for a third consecutive week, while a flurry of new releases rearranged the upper half of the top 10 and forced Kingdom Hearts Collection [I~III] to slip to fifth.
