Mario Kart World Tops UK Software Sales Chart; Major Nintendo Switch 2 Sales Gains

Mario Kart World Leads UK Software Sales Chart for Week Ending September 6, 2025; Nintendo Switch 2 Dominates New Releases The UK software sales chart for the week ending September 6, 2025, has been released, highlighting strong performances from Nintendo and new releases on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.

Mario Kart World, Nintendo’s latest installment in its iconic racing franchise, has surged to the number one position, having climbed from the second spot in the prior week.

The result further cements Nintendo’s dominance in the UK physical and digital game sales market amid ongoing success for the Nintendo Switch 2. Newcomers Make an Impact in Top 10 Among notable chart developments, Star Wars Outlaws, published by Ubisoft and previously outside the top 40, made a dramatic reentry at number seven.

Platform data indicates that sales for Star Wars Outlaws were led by the Nintendo Switch 2, comprising 75% of its total units sold.

PlayStation 5 accounted for 18%, while Xbox platforms contributed 7%.

This strong uptake for Nintendo’s latest hardware underscores its growing market presence and player base. Meanwhile, Chronos: The New Dawn by Bandai Namco Entertainment debuted at number four, though only 8% of its initial sales occurred on Nintendo Switch 2—a considerably lower share compared to other new releases. Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, developed and published by Marvelous Europe, also made its chart entry at number twenty-four.

This action mecha title saw a majority of its sales (72%) on Nintendo Switch 2, followed by 24% on PlayStation 5 and 4% on Xbox.

Compared to Chronos: The New Dawn, this suggests stronger momentum for Switch-exclusive or Switch-optimized action franchises. Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots, another new release from Bandai Namco Entertainment, ranked fifteenth.

Sales for this title were more evenly split, with 62% on PlayStation 5 and 38% on Nintendo Switch.

This distribution indicates healthy interest across platforms for the franchise’s latest offering. Full UK Top 10 Overview The full top ten for the UK game sales chart as of September 6, 2025, is as follows: 1.
