UK Charts: Mario Kart World Takes The Lead While Cronos Sees Weak Sales On Switch 2
By Happy Monday, folks! The latest UK boxed charts are here, and we’ve got a few newcomers to acknowledge, but first… Yes, Mario Kart World is back in the lead at number 1. Nintendo’s grabbed a Golden Mushroom and stormed past the competition once again; let’s see how long it lasts this time.
Cronos: The New Dawn makes a solid debut at number 4, just behind Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and EA Sports FC 25. That said, physical sales were mostly attributed to the PS5, which made up 83% of the platform split. PC managed 9%, and Switch 2 8%.
Not a surprising outcome, to be honest, as the PS5 is a good home for horror, and the Game-Key Card format might not be doing Switch 2 sales any favours. Having said that, it also seems very key retailers have it listed for the Switch 2, which perhaps implies a limited distribution.
Elsewhere, Star Wars Outlaws returned to the top ten thanks to the new Switch 2 release, coming in at number 7. Physical sales on the console made up 75% of the platform split, with PS5 and Xbox making up the remaining 18% and 7% respectively.
Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots saw a slightly more muted response, coming in at number 15. PS5 took the lead here too with 62% of the split, while Switch 2 managed 38%. Finally Daemon x Machina: Titanic Scion really didn’t make much of a splash, coming in at number 24. Switch 2 took the lead here with 72% of the split, with PS5 taking 24%, and Xbox 4%.
That’s a brief overview of the numbers, but here’s the full top 40, with platform breakdowns for games available on Switch, Switch 2, and other consoles:
