Well, as we'd expected, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has comfortably claimed victory in the UK Charts this week after its launch on 23rd May 2024.

According to Chris Dring of GamesIndustry.biz, the game performed better than last year's Super Mario RPG release on Switch and has pretty much matched the last major Paper Mario game, Origami King.

Elsewhere, Hogwarts Legacy has climbed a spot to knock EA Sports FC 24 down a peg, while the likes of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and Minecraft all take their place within the top ten as usual.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is also performing well, particularly on Switch, likely due to various retail discounts to give it a nice boost.

Here's your look at this week's top 40 in full, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles alongside the Switch:

The Thousand Year Door is absolutely adorable on Switch OLED. Mandatory title, people.

Even better on the Deck OLED

 

[Labadal]

Unicorn Overlord still charting, even if it's only in 21st place is cool.

Edit: It actually went up from 21st to 13th.

 

[Flabagast]

Very good performance from Cyberpunk, let's hope it keeps it this way

 

[Lionel Richie]

I'm sure Rebirth was #41.

 

[Woopah]

Hopefully it means we get a TTYD-style Paper Mario on Switch 2

 

[Mr Hyde]

Getting both Paper Mario and Luigi's mansion 2 later this summer when I got some more cash on me.

 

[mckmas8808]

Crazy how Hogwarts is still selling so much.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

No sign of Hellblade 2, what an epic flop.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Hopefully it means we get a TTYD-style Paper Mario on Switch 2

It pisses me off that we haven't already got something like that! Like you have the perfect formula there already and have done for the last 20 years. Atleast they've acknowledged TTYD now. That's a good start.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

These are devastating numbers for xbox software sales that can't be mitigated simply by the existence of the series s

 

[XXL]

No sign of Hellblade 2, what an epic flop.

Yeah, that's crazy.

It's also crazy how little software Xbox is selling.

All of those splits are embarrassing.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

My dudes these are boxed charts (e.g. physical games) so a digital only release like Hellblade 2 wouldn't chart here.

I honestly forgot it was digital only. Lol.

 

[Fake]

Hogwarts beating FIFA... what a time.

 

[Mr Moose]

No sign of Hellblade 2, what an epic flop.

 

[freefornow]

Holy shit at some of those splits for xbox! Appears to getting worse every single month.

 

[Woopah]

It pisses me off that we haven't already got something like that! Like you have the perfect formula there already and have done for the last 20 years. Atleast they've acknowledged TTYD now. That's a good start.

I get that as developers, they like the idea of trying something new each time. But it isn't what the fans want!

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

You got me.

 

[ReBurn]

The UK must love Mortal Kombat 1. It's continuing to chart but for the life of me I don't understand why.

The first chapter is a pub fight, not saying thats the reason, just an observation.

 

[NikuNashi]

I find it hard to believe there is anyone who hasnt played GTA V yet, but then I guess someone turns 13 everyday.
