"Mario Kart World topped charts for months after the Switch 2 came out. Part of that is console bundles inflating the numbers, but Mario Kart was always going to sell regardless. Donkey Kong Bonanza performed well too, both games got good reviews and people actually bought them instead of just talking about them online. EA Sports FC 25 keeps showing up in sales data because football games always sell in the UK."
"Online slots stayed popular across UK platforms through 2025. Big Bass Bonanza became huge, the fishing theme and bonus features work well apparently. Fishin' Frenzy has multiple variants now, established franchises perform well in casino gaming similar to how they do on consoles. Fluffy Favourites is almost 20 years old but people still play it. The fairground theme with the toy-grabbing bonus round keeps working somehow."
The Switch 2 launch boosted console hardware and software sales, with Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bonanza performing strongly and receiving positive reviews. Football games such as EA Sports FC 25 and perennial hits like Call of Duty continued to dominate UK sales charts. Some titles, including Hogwarts Legacy, maintained chart presence well after release. Online casino activity remained steady, driven by slot franchises like Big Bass Bonanza, Fishin' Frenzy variants, Fluffy Favourites, Book of Dead and Starburst, supported by large catalogs and Megaways mechanics. Mobile gaming showed independent trends, led by popular puzzle downloads.
