The latest GfK‑compiled UK weekly boxed games chart, reported by Nintendo Life, delivered a rare podium entirely made up of new entries.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight opened at No. 1, Forza Horizon 6 claimed No. 2, and Nintendo's Yoshi and the Mysterious Book debuted at No. 3 — a notable shake‑up for the market this week.
GfK's chart highlights both traditional platform winners and the growing presence of Nintendo's next‑generation hardware.
Nintendo Life's coverage noted ongoing industry interest in Switch 2 versions for current and incoming titles, underscoring how publisher support for both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 continues to shape sales splits and chart performance.
Several established releases maintained strong positions.
Resident Evil Requiem remained at No. 4, with the platform split reported as PC 62%, PS5 31%, Switch 2 4% and Xbox Series 3%.
Hogwarts Legacy continues to perform well in the UK market, showing a distribution skewed toward PlayStation 5 (PS5 76%), with Switch 2 at 20%, Switch at 3% and PS4 at 1% of boxed sales.
The week also saw movement further down the table: Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream slipped to No. 7, while Indiana Jones and the Great Circle — which received a Switch 2 sales boost last week — fell from No. 2 to No. 17 in this week's compiled rankings.
Pokémon Legends: Z‑A held steady in the top 15 with a roughly even platform split between Switch 2 (53%) and Switch (47%).
Other notable placements include Super Mario Bros.
Wonder showing a near‑even split between Switch and Switch 2 (Switch 52%, Switch 2 48%) and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom remaining in the top 40 with Switch 2 accounting for 66% of boxed sales and Switch 34%.
GfK's weekly charts serve as a snapshot of physical retail performance in the UK; platform split figures published alongside the list make clear how Nintendo's dual‑platform lifecycle is influencing boxed sales patterns.
Publishers and platform holders will be watching whether the momentum for new releases continues to reshape the top 40 in the coming weeks.
Full top 40 data and platform breakdowns were compiled by GfK and reported by Nintendo Life.
