Nintendo Switch Sports has secured its third consecutive No.1 in the UK boxed charts, despite a 54% drop in sales week-on-week.

It was a very slow week for boxed game sales, with just over 100,000 units sold in total. There was one new game in the charts, Evil Dead: The Game, which debuts in fifth spot. 79% of that game's sales were on PlayStation platforms (56% PS5/23% PS4), with the remainder on Xbox.
Meanwhile, Elden Ring ends its 11-week stay in the Top Ten by falling to No.11 this week.
And finally Sifu, which launched in a box last week and reached No.9, drops to No.30 after a 75% drop in sales week-on-week.
