Nintendo\u2019s The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/a> is back at #1 again in the UK physical retail charts.<\/p>\n

The open-world adventure game has now secured six number 1s since it was released eight weeks ago. It briefly had to accept second place during the weeks that Diablo 4 and Final Fantasy 16 were released. But overall, Nintendo\u2019s latest blockbuster has demonstrated incredible legs and will be a mainstay on the chart through the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Final Fantasy 16 was last week\u2019s No. 1, but drops to second place this week after a 78% fall in sales. The latest in the venerable series has already earned the title of \u201cBest PlayStation 5 Game\u201d of all time after only two weeks on sale, with over 3 million units sold worldwide. <\/p>\n

The highest new entry this week is AEW: Fight Forever<\/a>, a new wrestling game from the developer Yukes, which handled the development of the WWE games between 2000 and 2018. Its launch UK boxed sales were 40% lower than WWE 2K23, released in March. This isn\u2019t surprising considering the strength of the WWE brand, and it\u2019s a solid start for the game.<\/p>\n

The next new game in the charts is Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life<\/a>, which debuts at No. 7. This is a remake of a much-loved Harvest Moon game from 2003, which was initially released on Nintendo GameCube. The remake performed best on Nintendo Switch, which accounted for 89% of sales. 9% of sales were on PS5, with the remaining 2% on Xbox consoles. <\/p>\n

The final new game in the charts is Master Detective Archives: Rain Code<\/a> for Nintendo Switch, which reached No. 23 in the charts.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Sonic Origins Plus drops to No. 10 in the charts during its second week, with boxed sales only down 34%. And Crash Team Rumble that debuted at No. 15 last week, falls to No. 32 after a 53% sales drop. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
