YO YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS BECAUSE I JUST REVISITED MY OLDER POST AND THE CHART DATA IS SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN I FIRST RECOGNIZED! FFVII Rebirth landed at #4 on Switch 2 with EVERY SINGLE SALE coming from Nintendo's console, which is wild considering the game was already out on PS5 for two full years before this port. The Game-Key Card format didn't slow anyone down — people are genuinely embracing it and I love seeing a cross-gen title perform like this so long after its original release. This tells me Switch 2 isn't just catching up; the install base is already absorbing ports at a serious rate, even for games that've been around forever!
But wait there's so much more in this chart than just Rebirth and I wanted to share it all because each title tells a story. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book slid back to #14 but Pokémon Pokpia is still performing strong nearby, while Resident Evil Requiem keeps hanging in the top 10 like it belongs — which makes sense for RE! And Mortal Kombat... these games are perpetual motion machines because you can basically grab copies everywhere for less than a Big Mac lately. The full Top 40 also has some heavy hitters holding steady: Minecraft at #13, EA Sports FC at #15, and new entries like Monster Hunter Wilds peaking at #26 near the bottom while classics like Mario Kart World still sit comfortably at #9. This is such a wild snapshot of UK gaming — older titles finding second lives on Switch 2 alongside brand new releases all fighting for real estate!
