At the same time, Gears of War: Reloaded also broke into the top ten, but only the PS5 version made it into the top sales. The absence of a physical edition on Xbox surprised players.
Sales of games in the UK (physical copies):
- Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
- Mario Kart World
- Gears of War: Reloaded
- Hogwarts Legacy
- EA Sports FC 25
- Donkey Kong Bananza

Mario Kart World held the second position, Donkey Kong Bananza dropped to sixth place, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land started from seventh place — 85% of sales were on Switch 2.
Hogwarts Legacy and EA Sports FC 25 continue to stay in the top due to multiplatform coverage. And Shinobi: Art of Vengeance showed a weak start, taking only 21st place.
Statistics demonstrate that loud remakes and exclusive editions significantly influence the market in the UK.
