As the calendar turns toward the final week of October, fresh releases continue to shape retail charts compiled by GfK and reported by Nintendo Life.
This week’s list is led by a newly released Call of Duty entry, with Nintendo’s family-friendly sports package arriving close behind on Switch platforms.
In journalistic terms: the last week of October brought several notable launches, and retail sales data reflect a busy release window rather than any slowdown in new titles.
Top-line chart facts (GfK retail chart, as reported by Nintendo Life):
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 opened at number one, with platform sales split 78% PS5, 19% Xbox Series, and 3% Switch 2.
- Nintendo Switch Sports Resort debuted at number two, registering its sales primarily on Nintendo platforms.
- EA Sports FC 27 remained in the top three, with sales split 63% PS5, 13% Switch, 12% Xbox Series, and 8% Switch 2.

Additional chart highlights include long-running sellers and platform-specific trends.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond showed a heavy Switch 2 presence at 93% of its current sales coming from the newer hardware, while Animal Crossing: New Horizons continues to see significant activity split between Switch (58%) and Switch 2 (42%).
Minecraft remains in the upper portion of the chart, reflecting the title’s persistent retail demand; Minecraft is developed by Mojang Studios.
EA Sports FC and other sports franchises continue to perform across multiple platforms, underscoring cross-format appeal for annualized sports releases.
