Introduction

In a thrilling turn of events, the gaming world has welcomed a highly anticipated Nintendo title! Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition made an impressive debut on the Nintendo Switch last week, securing a spot on the UK gaming charts in just two short days since its release. This marks a triumphant return for Nintendo's first-party games, which have been sparse on the market in recent times.

Assassin's Creed Dominance

However, despite its strong entrance, the new release couldn't quite eclipse the longstanding dominance of the Assassin's Creed franchise. Ubisoft's latest installment, Assassin's Creed Shadows, took the top position, proving that players are still very much engaged with this iconic series.

Chart Movement

In a shift from last week’s leader, WWE 2K25 has slid down to the sixth position, while Monster Hunter: Wilds continues to battle for a place in the top ten. Established hits such as EA Sports FC 25, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Minecraft have also maintained their stronghold in the charts, demonstrating the resilience of beloved franchises.
