LEGO Batman and Forza Horizon 6 claimed the first and second spots respectively, displacing some recent chart leaders.
Notable movements and context: Pokemon Pokopia and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream remained firmly in the top ten, reflecting ongoing consumer interest in Nintendo-published titles on the Switch and through the eShop.
Monster Hunter Wilds showed a significant rise into the top ten after climbing from a lower chart position the previous week.
Resident Evil Requiem and Hogwarts Legacy continued to perform strongly amid steady catalog sales.
The chart underscores Nintendo’s dominance across the UK top 40, with multiple first-party Switch titles maintaining presence alongside new third-party releases.
