GfK's latest UK games chart places EA Sports FC 26 back at number one this week, while Nintendo franchises continue to perform well across Switch hardware.
The weekly top 40 snapshot — compiled by market tracker GfK — highlights cross-platform demand, notable new entries, and the continuing strength of sports and legacy Nintendo releases.
EA Sports FC 26 reclaimed the top spot in the UK charts, with a platform split showing strong performance on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch (PS5 36%, Switch 36%, Switch 2 12%, PS4 10%), according to the published GfK breakdown.
The title’s widespread availability across current and previous-generation consoles is reflected in those even shares between PS5 and Switch.
Nintendo’s Star Fox series moved down to fourth place this week, slipping behind Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, which rose to third.
In journalistic terms: Star Fox fell to fourth in its second week on sale, while Tomodachi Life climbed into the top three, underscoring ongoing consumer interest in Nintendo-first-party catalogues.
A notable new entry is Rhythm Paradise Groove, which debuted at number five.
The release is positioned as a strong start for a niche title on original Nintendo Switch hardware; its initial placement in the top five suggests meaningful early demand among rhythm-game fans.
Other highlights from the top 20 include Football Manager 26 at number six, reflecting the consistent performance of Sports Interactive’s management sim across PC and console audiences.
Resident Evil Requiem remained in the top 10 with a platform split weighted toward PC (PC 52%, PS5 32%, Switch 2 13%, Xbox 3%), demonstrating Capcom’s cross-platform reach for its latest releases.
The GfK chart also shows continued longevity for legacy and recent Nintendo releases.
Mario Kart World, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Bros.
Wonder, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild all appear in the top 40, with platform splits indicating meaningful sales on both Switch and the listed Switch 2 hardware where applicable.
GfK’s weekly compilation provides a useful barometer for UK retail and digital performance; this week’s data highlights how sports simulations, Nintendo first-party titles, and targeted niche releases each find a place in the market.
For readers tracking platform trends, the published splits offer clear evidence of how demand is distributed between Nintendo Switch hardware, next-generation Switch platforms, and other consoles.
