UK Charts: 2025 Gets Off To A Predictable Start, With Familiar Faces Dominating

1 day ago 25

The new year is finally upon us, and it's time to see how the charts are shaping up for their first appearance in 2025.

Overall, it's much as you might expect. The usual suspects of Hogwarts Legacy and EA Sports FC 25 sit at the top of the table, though Elden Ring continues its surprise resurgence and climbs to third to close out the podium.

In terms of Switch titles, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Party Jamboree, Nintendo Switch Sports and Minecraft all nab a spot in the top 10 (in other news, the sky is blue), but the new year has also seen a nice bump for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, which this time finds itself back in the top 20. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Pokémon Scarlet also make their return to the top 40 after being absent for the past few weeks.

That's enough chatter — here's a look at the full top 40 for the first week of 2025 (up to 3rd January), with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles as well as the Switch:
