The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending April 5, 2025 is now available.

As far as exclusives go, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe holds on for Nintendo Switch at #6 – and it's actually up a spot. Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is still slipping, moving down to #34. As we mentioned though, this is the standard trajectory for RPGs.

Assassin's Creed Shadows #1 for 3rd week

Hi The Chairman , how you doin ?

 

[yogaflame]

Astrobot has a very long legs.

 

[onQ123]

Hi The Chairman , how you doin ?

It's looking like Assassin's Creed Shadows might take the number one spot March & April if the PlayStation version of Forza Horizon 5 or Indiana Jones don't get a big boost from PS5 releases .

I would throw Days Gone Remaster in there as something that may surprise us.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Glad to see Atomfall on a UK chart.

 

[adamsapple]

Glad to see Atomfall on a UK chart.

It is the most UK game ever, it would have been a surprise had it not been there.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Damn FIRESHINE Games are on fire.
Khazan and Atomfall both new both doing amazing.

edit- I guess they are only the regional publisher not the main one.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Seeing the Tomb Raider trilogy gives me the warm fuzzies.

 

[GigaBowser]

You have to conquer the world while drinking tea and making sarkasting insults to everyone ?

 

[adamsapple]

Don't know about that (haven't played it myself yet) but the game has some extremely deep cut british humor references in it, at least.

 

[Gonzito]

Hi The Chairman , how you doin ?

He is hiding in his cave, let him recover papi

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Seeing the Tomb Raider trilogy gives me the warm fuzzies.

And it's mainly a digital release so seeing it on the physical charts is always great!

I'm still waiting for the physical release of the 2nd trilogy.

(with splits)


Last week's Switch 2 blowout was always going to cool Switch 1's software sales a little as all eyes get fixed firmly on what's next. Well, that's exactly what we're seeing in this week's UK charts.

As ever, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe keeps Nintendo in the running by holding firm at sixth, and Minecraft continues to perform well — thanks, in no small part, to the movie's box office success, we imagine. You have to scroll a looong old way to catch wind of Nintendo's latest, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, this week, which has continued its downward spiral and now finds itself in 34th place. Yikes.

It's not the most Switch-packed chart, but just imagine how it'll look in a couple of months when Mario Kart World arrives and assumes a decade-long spot in the top 10.

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:

With splits you say?

 

[GooseMan69]

Seems like Shadows has some legs. Word of mouth has been pretty good.

 

[Fake]

I only care about Astrobot and MK8.

 

[onQ123]

Astro Bot might make it's way to number one next week

 

[Woopah]

Don't know about that (haven't played it myself yet) but the game has some extremely deep cut british humor references in it, at least.
