The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending August 8, 2026, shows a mix of new entries, remasters and enduring catalogue sellers.
According to the official weekly list, Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem reached No.1 this week, while Nintendo franchises continue to occupy a substantial portion of the Top 40 — underscoring the ongoing commercial strength of first-party titles on Nintendo Switch and on digital storefronts such as the Nintendo eShop.
Key takeaways
- Resident Evil Requiem climbed to No.1 from No.6 the previous week, marking a strong return to the top spot for Capcom.
- Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced placed at No.2, remaining in the upper ranks for Ubisoft.
- Nintendo’s Pokemon Pokopia rose two places to No.3 from No.5, while Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream held steady at No.4.
- Several new or returning entries appeared in the Top 40, including Beast of Reincarnation at No.5 and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls at No.6.
In journalistic terms, the week’s chart shows Capcom regaining the summit with RE Requiem, while Nintendo’s broad catalogue—ranging from long-running franchises to recent releases—continues to deliver consistent sales.
The data also highlights multiple debuting and reissued Resident Evil titles appearing across the list, reflecting Capcom’s active release strategy.
Wider chart context
The Top 40 combines current releases and legacy titles: Mario Kart World and Splatoon Raiders are present alongside perennial sellers such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
EA Sports FC 26 reappears in the Top 10 at No.10 after a previous placement at No.15, demonstrating sports titles’ regular chart activity.
Long-tail catalogue performers like Grand Theft Auto V and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom remain visible in the rankings, underscoring sustained consumer interest in established IP.
For industry watchers, the week ending August 8, 2026, reinforces two trends: strong first-party performance for Nintendo across physical and digital channels, and the ongoing commercial viability of high-profile third-party releases and remasters.
