After a rather lengthy delay this week, we finally have a look at the latest UK charts and would you believe it, the king has returned!

Yes, As it approaches its seventh birthday, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has once again sped into pole position, leaving the competition for dust.

Not to besmirch this achievement, but there isn’t a lot going on in the gaming world this week. Hogwarts Legacy snatches up the silver, once again, while Super Mario Bros. Wonder has climbed the ladder and now takes the bronze.

Elsewhere, Princess Peach: Showtime! continues to perform well in the upper reaches of the chart and a surprise speed boost from Sonic Superstars sees the blue blur’s latest round out the top ten. Also, notice that EA Sports FC 24 is nowhere to be seen near the top? It’s down at 12th this week! That’s right folks, it’s finally out of the top ten!

Here’s your look at this week’s top 40 in full, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles alongside the Switch:
