Nintendo's new spinoff title, Splatoon Raiders, debuted at the top of the UK physical gaming charts for the week ending July 27, 2026. The game secured the number one spot despite having been available at retail for only two days prior to the data tracking cutoff.
Shifting Top Positions
The strong debut knocked Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced down to second place after the Ubisoft title previously held the top spot. Nintendo Life noted the swift performance, stating that "Splatoon Raiders has come out of the gate strong" and calling the debut "not bad going for a game that had only been on sale for two days by the time the numbers were taken!"
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream claimed the final podium position at number three for the week.
Notable Chart Movements
Further down the charts, Star Fox experienced a drop, sliding to 15th place. Meanwhile, Rhythm Heaven Groove was absent from the rankings entirely. The title's ongoing absence is reportedly linked to physical distribution issues affecting its availability.
