UK Charts: Pokémon Pokopia Is Starting To Prove Its Staying Power

The latest UK Charts data is in, and Pokémon Pokopia has turned in a solid performance this week to land at number 2. We can only imagine that stores have finally been provided with adequate stock to satiate demand – hardly the most compelling reason for the game's jump up to second place, but we'll take it.

If nothing else, we're getting a real sense that Pokopia is likely going to stick around for quite a while. That said, it wasn't quite enough to dethrone Resident Evil Requiem, which leaped back into pole position while sending EA SPORTS FC 26 all the way down to number 18.

Elsewhere, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie continues to boost the popularity of Galaxy + Galaxy 2 on Switch, with the bundle continuing its ascent to settle at number 7.

Here's the full top 40, with platform breakdowns for games available on Switch, Switch 2, and other consoles:
