The latest look at the UK charts is in, and things have been shaken up.
Yes, after holding onto the silver for two weeks, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has dropped to sixth this time thanks to the arrival of Silent Hill 2, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero and Undisputed at second, third and fifth respectively.
Naturally, EA Sports FC 25 still hangs around in the top spot (where the Switch only makes up 13% of its sales) and Atlus' latest RPG Metaphor: Refantazio makes its chart debut at seventh.
A slightly quiet Nintendo presence in the top 10 this week, then. We wonder whether a certain Jamboree will give the Big N a much-needed spike next time.
Here's a look at this week's top 40 in full, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles alongside the Switch:

Did you pick up anything new this week or are you saving up for Mario Party? Let us know what you think of the latest charts in the comments below.

Sixth is not bad, either! Silent Hill and Dragon Ball are quite important IPs too, so it's understandable.
I didn't know that Undisputed, though.
Surprised that Silent Hill 2 ranked higher than Dragon Ball.
But I never knew if Dragon Ball was ever popular enough in the Uk.
Happy to see Silent Hill 2 and Sparking Zero only behind FC 25, Hogwarts Legacy in fourth and still selling the best on Switch, Echoes of Wisdom and Refantazio at least in sixth and seven considering all the other games in front of them, the usual Switch suspects in the rest of the top 10 and lastly Final Fantasy I-VI Collection and Astro Bot just barely outside of it!
Genuinely surprised Silent Hill outsold Sparking Zero. Realistically thought Sparking Zero had a chance at being #1. Metaphor had sort of a light release week, huh? It’s good to see new games in the charts regardless of anything though.
@JimNorman There's a typo when you can fix it, "Silent Hil 2".
@somnambulance Right!? I thought for sure Sparking! Zero would be first once it was finally out!
BLUEY was on number 19. ☺
Where's Mortal Kombat 1? 😂
Switch is doing just fine
Really had no idea there was a boxing game coming out so Undisputed has done pretty well.
Not the best sales for Metaphor: Refantazio, maybe Atlus will regret giving Xbox the exclusive marketing rights. Hoping for this to be a Switch 2 game so hopefully get a bump in numbers in the future.
I’ve been impressed with Switches sales share of 3rd party multiplats, especially recently.
Considering this is the UK, consistently 1 of Nintendo’s weakest markets, yet 3rd party multiplat market share on switch is very competitive, even in some genres it’s not really expected to be.
Was there a sale or something? That's a game I never thought I'd ever see in the top 40 post launch.
@Chibi Nintendo handhelds have always been very popular here
@larryisaman yeah I guess handhelds have done ok. Some better than others.
However, afaik they didn’t really set the sales charts on fire with their 3rd party sw sales, particularly multiplats, albeit the Nin handheld version was usually gimped to an unrecognisable state.
Metaphor: Refantazio at 7th is a bit of a sickener. Probably the most eagerly anticipated game of the year for me, with respect to Zelda and, maybe, Dragon Age.
Atlus, I promise you, I will get it day one if/when it comes to the Ultra Switch.
@somnambulance I think with digital it will as on Steam more people bought the Ultimate edition for the early access and consoles likely followed that trend from big DB fans.
Hogwarts Legacy still selling like hotcakes. I'm impressed!
Even moreso it's the Switch version that's selling the most.
Echoes just not all that.
@Medic_alert As far as I know (I don't have the game), Hogwarts Legacy runs pretty well on Switch. Sure it doesn't look that great, but for a portable experience, it's quite good.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
And it's been on sale. I was tempted myself when I saw it in the eshop for like 15 bucks, and I'm not into Harry Potter...
For some reason, I thought Metaphor: ReFantazio would chart a bit higher its first week. The only ones I'm not surprised about are the top three. The UK seems to like its sports. Silent Hill is usually decent, and Dragon Ball is pretty universal.
@JimNorman Should that be Final Fantasy I-VI Collection? Or is there a more pared down version I'm not aware of?
@Tyranexx Hah, you're quite right! Good spot 😎
Isn't it weird how Hogwarts Legacy is sitting at 4 while the brand new Zelda game has fallen to 6 already. The media is going to have to put together a second round of propaganda to remind everyone that Hogwarts Legacy is a bad game despite people loving it.
Us stupid gamers spending our money on what we actually enjoy playing. What is wrong with us! Hahaha.
Kinda reminds me of how I've found, throughout the five decades I have been alive, that when the critics say a movie sucks, it ends up being a movie I enjoy. Critics... so helpful in life aren't they, always telling us what to like and not like.
Nice numbers for Silent Hill 2. Would be curious to see if Bloober is able to make an original entry that's decent now that they've had experience with remaking one of the classic entries.
Would've liked to have seen them remake the entire trilogy, but that would just seem weird after starting with SH2.
Wish Metaphor was higher, but honestly, it's selling so well overall it doesn't really matter in this instance.
PS5 is swimming in good games atm.
At least Astro Bot is in the top 15 right above GTA V and Minecraft (the only two games that hardly ever disappeared from these chart).
@Ralizah Agreed. I love my PS5. I'd never buy that new one with the ridiculous price tag, but the original PS5 is great.
@JimNorman No prob! Roman numerals are easy to swap around sometimes.
@PharoneTheGnome I think it depends on your priorities. The price seems nuts for a console, yes, but you'd be paying a lot more for comparable power on PC if you were just building one. Just an equivalent GPU would cost around $500+ on its own.
Then again, that would also make PC cheaper to upgrade, which is the benefit of a modular design.
I'll probably never own a PS5 myself, since Sony is porting their games to PC anyway, but if you're a console person or don't already have a rig set up, there's a ton of stuff to play.
very glad to see undisputed at number five. That game has improved drastically as a boxing simulation
@Obs I know I got the early access, but that’s because I just wanted to get ahead of the DLC with that one… I didn’t even know I had early access at first, but I always try to see if my digital preorders let me play early… and to my surprise, it worked this time!
I saw that the new UK retail report has been out since yesterday but the NintendoLife's article complete with the multiplatform games' breakdown has yet to be published. Therefore, I wanted to ask if NL's article will be put out soon
