UK Charts: Orbitals Performs Admirably, But Elden Ring Crashes Out Of The Top 40
The latest UK video game sales charts reveal notable shifts in the competitive market. Switch 2 exclusive Orbitals has achieved an impressive debut, entering the charts at number 3. This strong performance demonstrates solid player interest in Nintendo’s newest exclusive title during its launch period.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword leads the charts overall, driven primarily by PS5 sales. The title’s multi-platform distribution reveals that Switch 2 accounts for 8% of the game’s total sales, demonstrating the growing importance of the new Nintendo platform for publishers and its ability to capture a meaningful market share alongside PS5 dominance.
In significant chart movement, Elden Ring has exited the top 40 rankings entirely. The FromSoftware title had maintained strong chart presence since its 2022 release and the Shadows of the Erdtree expansion, making its departure from the top 40 a notable shift in the UK gaming landscape.
