UK Charts: Elden Ring Starts Strong, But It’s Metal Gear That Takes The Crown
The latest UK boxed game charts have been released, featuring several notable new entries. Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, a Switch 2 exclusive, debuts at number five with a solid start in the rankings. The action RPG outperforms several established titles including Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream and Mario Kart World.
Metal Gear claims the top position in this week’s charts. The chart data, which arrived slightly delayed this week, reveals an interesting mix of new releases and established franchises competing for player attention. Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition’s strong fifth-place debut on Switch 2 suggests healthy early adoption of the new Nintendo console, with the demanding action RPG finding a significant audience among early Switch 2 adopters. This performance is particularly noteworthy given the game’s exclusive launch on Nintendo’s newest hardware, demonstrating the platform’s appeal to players seeking challenging, high-quality titles at launch.
