\"Indiana<\/a> Image: Bethesda Softworks<\/p>\n

Good morning, everyone! It’s a new week, which means it’s time to see what’s going on in the world of boxed game sales in the UK.<\/p>\n

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle<\/a> launched on the Switch 2, and so finds itself at number 2 in the top 40. Platform split indicates that the new release vastly outsold other platforms at 99%, with PS5 and Xbox likely hovering at under 1% each.<\/p>\n

A great start, then, and a clear message that customers are very eager to get their hands on big ports for the Switch 2. That it’s one of few major releases to come fully packed on the cartridge is a huge bonus, too. Still, it wasn’t quite enough to beat Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream<\/a> to the top spot.<\/p>\n

Nintendo’s weird and wonderful life sim continues to perform well, and this may be sending a message to the higher ups that supporting the OG Switch is going to be a worthwhile endeavour for the foreseeable future, especially as a Switch 2 price hike looms in the distance.<\/p>\n

Enough waffling \u2013 here’s the full top 40, with platform breakdowns for games available on Switch, Switch 2, and other consoles:<\/p>\n
