Mario Kart World Tops UK Charts Again

GkF data shows Mario Kart World reclaiming the number one position in the physical UK charts after Mafia: The Old Country had the top slot in the prior period. Donkey Kong Bananza moves up to number three, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains a steady presence in the top ten, underscoring Nintendo’s continued strength in this segment.

The full top 40 list reveals a mix of multi platform releases and evergreen titles spread across Switch, PS5, PS4, and Xbox. Lookouts for the summer season include Kirby Air Riders, slated for release later this year, and a Nintendo Direct planned for August 19 which could recalibrate interest and sales momentum.

In a market where digital dominates, physical sales still matter for many UK retailers and players. Nintendo’s enduring franchises keep drawing buyers back to the shelves, even as new titles battle for attention online. The presence of evergreen games like GTA V and The Legend of Zelda shows that chart momentum often reflects brand loyalty as much as new hype.

Looking ahead, the August Direct and Kirby’s arrival could shift the ladders again. If new announcements translate into immediate purchases, the charts could tilt back toward Nintendo, but the broader market will depend on pricing, bundles, and the ongoing balance between physical and digital sales.

Highlights

The shelf still matters even as screens proliferate, and fans will shape the next chapter of these charts.
