UK Software Sales Chart: Pokemon Legends Z-A Tops Nintendo Switch Rankings for Second Week

The latest data from the UK software sales chart—for the week ending October 25, 2025—shows that Nintendo continues its strong presence in the retail gaming market.

Once again, "Pokemon Legends: Z-A" claims the top position, underscoring its enduring appeal and the power of the Nintendo Switch platform among UK consumers.

Developed by Nintendo, "Pokemon Legends: Z-A" has now led the chart for two consecutive weeks, reinforcing both the franchise’s massive popularity and the success of Switch exclusives in the region. Industry observers will note the impressive physical debut of "Tomb Raider IV-V-VI Remastered," published by Aspyr.

Sales data published for the week reveal the platform split for this release: PlayStation 5 accounted for 57 percent of the total, while the Nintendo Switch version contributed a significant 30 percent, and PlayStation 4 represented 12 percent.

This distribution highlights the continued relevance of physical media across consoles, especially for remastered titles with a nostalgic edge.

Aspyr’s achievement with the "Tomb Raider" collection is particularly notable, given the increased competition in the action-adventure genre and the established fanbase of Lara Croft’s earlier adventures. Other top performers include "EA Sports FC 26" at #2 and "Battlefield 6" at #3, both from Electronic Arts, showing sustained momentum for major sports and shooter franchises.

"Mario Kart World," another major Nintendo Switch title, holds steady at #4, further cementing Nintendo's dominance in the family-friendly and multiplayer game sectors.

New entries this week also include "Jurassic World: Evolution 3" developed by Fireshine Games, and "Ninja Gaiden 4" from Microsoft, reflecting a diverse market landscape and strong competition across publishers. The top ten for the week is rounded out by "Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2" at #8, "Minecraft" (Nintendo edition) at #9, and "Donkey Kong Bananza" at #10—demonstrating the ongoing demand for both legacy Nintendo IPs and cross-generational hits.

Other Switch titles maintaining a strong presence in the Top 40 include "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe," "Super Mario Party Jamboree," "Animal Crossing: New Horizons," and "Nintendo Switch Sports." In an official statement, a Nintendo representative noted the company's pride in achieving sustained success across both classic and new IPs on the Switch, affirming the platform's continued relevance in an evolving digital and retail game market.

"The performance of our titles in the UK charts attests to the lasting connection fans have with Nintendo franchises, and we remain committed to delivering high-quality experiences on Nintendo Switch," the representative said. With chart data showing consistent sales for third-party and first-party titles alike, this week’s UK sales numbers provide a clear snapshot of the robust health of the British gaming industry.

The latest Nintendo Direct announcements and continued eShop activity indicate strong consumer engagement ahead of the holiday period. For those tracking the pulse of the UK gaming sector, Nintendo's performance—both in terms of new releases and continued legacy title popularity—offers valuable insight into ongoing trends and player preferences.
