\"Splatoon<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life<\/p>\n

This week’s UK physical gaming charts sees Splatoon Raiders<\/a> ousted from #1 by the Master Chief in Halo: Campaign Evolved, with Nintendo occupying 15 spots in the Top 40 charts and Raiders knocked to #2 in its second week.<\/p>\n

Both Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced<\/a> and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream<\/a> slip down one place each, with Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia<\/a> moving up into the Top 5 again, and Resident Evil Requiem<\/a> breaking back into the Top 10 just below that.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Star Fox<\/a> drops from 15th to 22nd, the physical release of Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition<\/a>‘s Switch 2 Edition debuts in 16th place, Rhythm Heaven Groove<\/a> is still absent, and Tears of the Kingdom<\/a> is still hanging in there at #40.<\/p>\n

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