Mario Kart World Leads UK Software Sales for Third Week: Nintendo Switch Hits Chart Milestone

Mario Kart World Dominates UK Software Sales for Third Consecutive Week on Nintendo Switch For the week ending June 21, 2025, Mario Kart World has once again secured the top spot in the UK software sales chart, marking its third consecutive week as the best-selling title.

Nintendo’s racing juggernaut continues to perform impressively, further reinforcing the franchise’s major footprint on the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 platforms.

Published by Nintendo, Mario Kart World’s unbroken reign highlights the enduring appeal of the series among UK gamers, even years after its initial release. The chart for the week features a strong Nintendo presence, with several first-party titles earning high placements.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe climbs to #4, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild take fifth and ninth positions, respectively.

Other Nintendo titles, including Minecraft (developed and published for Switch by Nintendo), Super Mario Party Jamboree, and Super Mario Bros.

Wonder, also maintain positions within the top 15. A notable newcomer this week is Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, published by SEGA.

Debuting at number 8, the remastered RPG’s sales distribution was clarified by official figures: the PlayStation 5 version accounted for 51% of total sales, while sales on Nintendo Switch 2 contributed 29%, and legacy Nintendo Switch sales made up the remaining 20%.

This split highlights the evolving hardware landscape in the UK and positions Nintendo Switch 2 as a competitive platform alongside Sony’s flagship console.

Speaking on its strong cross-platform performance, SEGA representatives stated that Raidou Remastered’s launch reflects 'growing demand for classic RPG experiences on both next-generation and established hardware.' The rest of the top ten reflect the breadth and longevity of established franchises.

Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition (Bandai Namco Entertainment) rises to second place, while Hogwarts Legacy (Warner Bros.

Interactive) holds steady at number three.

The Witcher III: Wild Hunt GOTY Edition and Grand Theft Auto V also continue to perform, demonstrating the UK market’s appetite for open-world and role-playing titles. Below the top 10, Nintendo continues its strong representation with Super Mario Odyssey, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Pokémon titles contributing to a chart showing enduring interest in first-party titles.

EA Sports FC 25 (Electronic Arts) and Tomb Raider I-II-III Remastered (Aspyr) also made notable appearances, illustrating the appeal of both sports simulations and nostalgic remasters to UK gamers. The success of Nintendo franchises on both the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 underscores Nintendo’s ongoing influence within the region.

Mario Kart World’s sustained chart presence, complemented by robust performances from titles like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros.

Wonder, reinforces the publisher’s leadership in both new releases and legacy catalog sales. For continued coverage and updates on software sales trends and Nintendo’s performance in the UK and beyond, readers can follow our dedicated UK software sales chart posts on this site.
