The gaming world is buzzing with excitement as the latest UK charts reveal a surprising twist in the sales battle between two powerhouse titles. Resident Evil Requiem has stormed to the top spot following its launch on February 27, 2026, but here’s where it gets intriguing: despite the Switch 2 platform accounting for only 4% of its overall sales, the game’s performance on this console is eerily similar to that of Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition from last year. But here’s where it gets controversial—industry expert Christopher Dring from The Game Business highlights that Requiem’s Switch 2 sales are “broadly the same” as Cyberpunk’s, sparking debates about the platform’s potential. Could this signal a shift in gaming preferences, or is it just a fluke? Let’s dive deeper.
Requiem’s success isn’t limited to the Switch 2. Its first-week sales outperformed Mario Tennis Fever, and its physical sales have surpassed both the Resident Evil 4 remake and Resident Evil Village. And this is the part most people miss—the Resident Evil Generation Pack, exclusive to the Switch 2, has also secured a spot in the top 10, bundling Requiem with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Village. While all Switch 2 releases come as Game-Key Cards, this format hasn’t hindered Requiem’s early triumph.
Switching gears, Tales of Berseria Remastered made its debut at number 20, with the Switch platform contributing 38% of its sales, though the PS5 dominated with 54%. Below is the full top 40 chart, complete with platform breakdowns for games available on Switch, Switch 2, and other consoles:
