Metroid Prime 4 returns to UK top 10 as Dungeons II debuts
Minecraft Dungeons II only reached number two, but the Switch 2 version took 70 percent of its platform split in a quiet week of UK physical sales.
Minecraft Dungeons II has entered the UK physical charts at number two on debut, settling just behind EA Sports FC 27. The Switch 2 version drove the result, accounting for 70 percent of the platform split. It was one of two notable arrivals in the latest figures, alongside Xenoblade Chronicles 2's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, which launched physically on 1 October and charted at 25 despite little promotion from Nintendo.
Further down, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond climbed back into the top ten, a return that suggests the shooter is still drawing buyers well after launch. The week's shape is fairly typical for a quiet release window: an established sports title holding the summit, a fresh spin-off taking the runner-up spot on the strength of one platform, and a catalogue reissue quietly finding its footing. The Xenoblade reissue bundles a Wii U-era release with its expansion pass, which may explain the modest promotional push from Nintendo. Two Nintendo-published titles inside the top 25 is a solid return for what was otherwise a thin release schedule.
