UK Gaming Charts: EA Sports FC 24 and Hogwarts Legacy Hold Top Spots Again
The latest UK boxed gaming charts have been released, and it comes as no surprise that EA Sports FC 24 and Hogwarts Legacy are once again dominating the top spots. Elden Ring has made a comeback, securing the third position, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe continues to impress despite being on the market for seven years. Princess Peach: Showtime! has slipped to sixth place, but it’s still holding strong in the top ten.
Nintendo’s latest release, Princess Peach: Showtime!, has been on a downward trend, slipping to sixth place this week. However, it’s still impressive to see the Mushroom Kingdom monarch holding her own in the top ten, especially when last week’s bronze medalist, South Park: Snow Day!, has plummeted to 25th place.
The top 40 chart breakdown reveals the platform split for each game, with EA Sports FC 24 dominating on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, and Switch. Hogwarts Legacy is primarily popular on the Switch, followed by PS5, PS4, and Xbox Series. Elden Ring, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate also make appearances in the top five.
Other notable titles in the top ten include LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and Minecraft. Football Manager 2024, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and Grand Theft Auto V also maintain their positions in the top 20.
It’s interesting to see the variety of games in the top 40, with titles like Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Batman: Arkham Trilogy, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons making appearances. The chart also includes popular franchises like Final Fantasy, The Witcher, The Legend of Zelda, and Red Dead Redemption.
Overall, the UK boxed gaming charts continue to showcase a diverse range of titles across different platforms, with EA Sports FC 24 and Hogwarts Legacy leading the pack once again. It will be interesting to see how the rankings shift in the coming weeks as new releases hit the market.
