UK charts: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe retains crown as we wait for new releases

After a slight delay this week, the UK charts are finally out. It’s another quiet week in the region, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe holding on to the top spot for the second week in a row.

The top 10 sees a bit of a shake-up, however, with Mortal Kombat 1 storming up to 3rd place, while Hogwarts Legacy falls back a bit to 10th. A few new faces also return to the top 40, with titles like Lego City Undercover, Pokémon Scarlet and even Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered poking their heads out of the sand.

So yeah, a bit of a slow week in the gaming world, but hopefully titles like Black Myth: Wukong and Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club will make some waves in the coming weeks. It’ll be interesting to see how the latter in particular does.

Below you’ll find this week’s full top 40, with platform specifications for all titles available on consoles other than the Switch:
