UK Charts: EA Sports FC 24 Stays On Top With Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Close Behind

Must read

We’re on the cusp of the weekend, yet the UK Charts for last week are only just rolling in!

The latest data, for the week ending 24th August, shows that EA Sports FC 24 once again stays on top, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remaining in second place. We might as well just keep them both here for the rest of the year — or at least until FC 25 launches.

After last week’s surge, Minecraft has slipped back down the charts from third to ninth, while Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, and Nintendo Switch Sports have slipped out of the top ten entirely. Another one to take a tumble is Pokémon Scarlet, which after making a huge leap last week to 21, is back down at 39. Violet sits comfortably at 36 for the second week in a row.

So, not much to report, really! But there also weren’t many big releases last week. It’ll be interesting to check in next week with Emio – The Smiling Man, which we expect won’t blow our socks off in terms of sales, but still.

Anyway, here’s a look at this week’s (well, last week’s) top 40 in full, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles alongside the Switch:
