Nintendo Life's latest roundup of the UK physical game charts, compiled by market tracker GfK, shows a steadier top 40 following last week's influx of new releases.
The Switch 2 exclusive Orbitals, which debuted at No.3 in its first week, has slid to No.18 in this week's chart, suggesting its core audience largely purchased at launch.
At the summit of the chart two recent podium regulars have swapped places.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword and The Blood of Dawnwalker continue to occupy the top two positions, with Onimusha now holding No.1 and The Blood of Dawnwalker at No.2.
Platform breakdowns in the GfK data highlight that Onimusha sales are concentrated on PS5 (88%), with Switch 2 accounting for 7% and Xbox Series for 6%.
The weekly chart details several notable platform splits for multi-format releases.
Mortal Kombat 1 is overwhelmingly a PS5 seller (99% PS5, 1% Xbox Series), while EA Sports FC 26 shows a more distributed footprint (Switch 31%, PS5 28%, Xbox Series 16%, Switch 2 13%).
Hogwarts Legacy's physical sales skew heavily toward PS5 (83%), with Switch 2 representing 8% and the original Switch 4%.
Other entries of interest include Pokémon Legends: Z-A, where Switch 2 captures 58% of physical sales compared to 42% on Switch, and Super Mario Bros.
Wonder, which posts a 61% share on Switch and 39% on Switch 2.
Grand franchises remain visible: Mario Kart World, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, Minecraft, and multiple Resident Evil releases all appear in the top 40.
GfK's compiled list provides a snapshot of how new hardware and established platforms are dividing physical sales in the UK.
Nintendo Life returns each week to summarize these movements and track how launches perform over time.
If you follow physical releases, the data underline that some Switch 2 titles are capturing a meaningful portion of sales alongside strong PS5 performance for certain third-party franchises.
That wraps this week's look at the GfK-compiled UK physical charts.
