The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending July 4, 2026 shows a busy top 10 despite a relatively light slate of new releases.
Electronic Arts’ EA SPORTS FC 26 climbed to the number one position this week, while Nintendo continued to occupy a large share of the chart with multiple Switch titles.
Rhythm Heaven Groove — listed in Europe as Rhythm Paradise Groove — made a notable debut inside the top five.
Chart highlights and movements
- EA SPORTS FC 26 rose to number one this week, moving up from number two the previous week.
The Electronic Arts-published football sim leads the pack for July’s first charting period.
- 007 FIRST LIGHT climbed to number two after placing at number five last week, according to the official UK software sales listing for the period ending July 4, 2026.
- TOMODACHI LIFE: LIVING THE DREAM is at number three, while STAR FOX, which debuted at number one the prior week, slipped to number four this week.
In plain terms: Star Fox’s launch surge moderated but the title remained in the upper tier of the chart.
- RHYTHM PARADISE GROOVE made a top-five entrance at number five.
Despite the franchise’s niche status, the title achieved a strong debut in the UK sales rankings.
- FOOTBALL MANAGER 26 holds steady at number six, with RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM at number seven and POKEMON POKOPIA at number eight.
- Notable jumps include BATTLEFIELD 6 vaulting into the top 10 at number ten, moving up from number 38 the previous week.
Broader context
Nintendo-published titles account for a significant portion of the top 40 this week, reflecting sustained consumer interest in Switch lineup staples such as MARIO KART WORLD (#9), POKEMON POKOPIA (#8), and THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD (#29).
Several entries are new to the chart this week (marked N/A in the prior period), including RHYTHM PARADISE GROOVE and select licensed releases from Warner Bros. and Ubisoft.
