UK Charts: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Plummets As Familiar Faces Retake The Podium (2026)

The UK gaming charts have taken an unexpected turn this week, and it's a tale of familiar faces reclaiming their glory. The top spot remains unchanged, but the real story is the dramatic drop of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.

Last week's silver medallist has plummeted to 17th place, a significant fall from grace. But here's where it gets controversial: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which had a surprise rebound, is now just one place ahead of Final Fantasy VII. A true twist of fate!

With this shake-up, the usual suspects have stepped back into the spotlight. Mario Kart World, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Pokémon Legends: Z-A have reclaimed their positions at the top. No surprises there, as these games continue to dominate the charts.

Let's dive into the full top 40, with a breakdown of platforms for each game:
