It finally happened! A new Nintendo release is here, and it's performing well!
Yes, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition made its debut on Switch last week and, after just two days on sale, it has landed itself a spot on the UK charts podium. Yay!
It's a nice debut for the first first-party release from Nintendo in what feels like forever, but it wasn't quite enough to grab the gold. Pole position went to Assassin's Creed Shadows this week, with Ubisoft's latest demonstrating that there's still an appetite for the series.
Last week's champ, WWE 2K25, has dropped down to sixth, while the seemingly unstoppable Monster Hunter: Wilds is barely hanging onto a top 10 position. EA Sports FC 25, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Minecraft are all still sitting comfortably, of course, and a new physical release of The Messenger makes a nice cameo down the bottom.
Aaaanyway, here's a look at the full top 40 for this week, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles as well as the Switch:
