The latest UK Charts data is in and, as expected, Pokémon Legends Z-A has comfortably taken the top spot this week following its release on 16th October 2025.
Boxed sales were almost equal for the first week, with the Switch 2 Edition bagging 51% of the split, and the OG Switch version 49%. According to The Game Business’ Chris Dring, overall boxed sales are also 40% lower than that of Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A is comfortably No.1 in the UK physical charts. Launch sales are 40% lower than Pokemon Legends: Arceus. 51% of sales were for the Switch 2 edition.
It’s the second biggest Switch 2 game of the year behind Mario Kart World.

It goes without saying that we can’t get a complete picture without digital sales data, which Nintendo sadly doesn’t provide. It’s likely that Z-A has enjoyed far greater sales on the Switch eShop than Arceus, and this may also skew the overall platform split. Something to keep in mind.
Elsewhere, Just Dance 2026 Edition is, well… there. Debuting at number 16, it’s yet another entry in Ubisoft’s long-running franchise that will likely tick over nicely for the company until the next version drops in 2026. So it goes.
Here’s the full top 40, with platform breakdowns for games available on Switch, Switch 2, and other consoles:
