TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents UK Charts 19.10.26: FC 27 Reigns Supreme, Castlevania and Toy Story Storm In.

EA Sports FC 27 remains in the UK exactly where most expected it: at the very top. In the sales chart for the week of October 19, 2026, compiled by GamesIndustry and analyzed by Nintenderos, the football game defends first place – once again at this stage of the season. What the number reveals, one that rarely appears in the chart: 59 percent of FC 27 sales this week went through PS5, 15 percent through Switch, 13 percent through Xbox Series, and 8 percent through Switch 2. Four platforms, one clear picture – Sony remains the home of British football fans.

Four Newcomers, Three Surprises

What makes this week unusual: four games manage the leap into the Top 15 – three of them land straight in the top ten. The strongest debut comes from Control Resonant at number two. Right behind it follows Castlevania: Belmont's Curse in third, and with a remarkable platform mix: 45 percent of sales came via Nintendo Switch, 50 percent via PS5, only 6 percent via Xbox Series. Almost half of buyers opted for Nintendo's older hybrid console – not a bad sign for a classic Castlevania outing.

Number four goes to a double release: Toy Story: Retro Roundup! + Toy Story 3 Complete Edition are tallied together in the UK charts. The split reads like a mood picture of the Switch family: PS5 45 percent, Switch 2 32 percent, Switch 19 percent, PS4 4 percent. At number nine, Valor Mortis enters the chart, and at number 15, Tales of Eternia: Remastered makes it – with a clear PS5 dominance of 51 percent versus 26 percent Switch and 23 percent Switch 2.

The Steep Fall of the Kingdom Hearts Collection

The most striking movement in the charts is not a rise. The Kingdom Hearts Collection [I~III], which was in fifth place the previous week, falls back to 35th place. For online collectors, the package was apparently a one-time buy: those who wanted it grabbed it in the first week. One week later, only the late arrivals count, and at this tier that's thin. For comparison: the previous week it still made the Top 5, this week only a few copies sold beyond the Nintenderos list positions – the Switch 2 version accounts for 64 percent of that, PS5 36 percent.

Why the List Still Smells of Nintendo

Looking beyond the top spot, it becomes clear how dominant Nintendo is in the UK right now. Mario Kart World sits at number six, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream at seven, PokĂ©mon Pokopia at twelve, PokĂ©mon Legends: Z-A at thirteen (40 percent Switch, 60 percent Switch 2). In the lower ranks appear Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (number 24, 69 percent Switch 2), Animal Crossing: New Horizons (25), Super Mario Bros. Wonder (26) and Super Mario Party Jamboree (38) – perennial sellers that push through the list week after week. Even LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight sells 40 percent via Switch 2, more than via Xbox Series (11 percent).

Bluey, Switch 2 and a Small Newcomer

Worth one final note: Bluey's Happy Snaps makes it to number 34, driven by the simultaneous match across Switch 2 (41 percent) and Switch (39 percent). If you want to know where British families spent their money this week, the answer is pretty clear – and pretty colorful.
