The power of bundles and deep sales, especially during slow weeks like this one, is not to be underestimated.
Two Point Campus debuts at No.2 in the UK physical charts.
This is just for boxed sales. Two Point Campus, as a strategy game, will likely have performed strongly as a digital download on PC. Download data will be available later in the week.
64% of the game's boxed sales came on Nintendo Switch, 19% on PS5, 12% on PS4 and 5% on the Xbox Series platforms. Two Point Campus is also included in the Xbox Game Pass subscription service (as was its predecessor, Two Point Hospital).
Keeping the game from No.1 was Horizon: Forbidden West, which is sitting at the top of the UK boxed charts due to game bundles with PS5 hardware, plus pricing activity at UK retail. This week Horizon's sales are up 35% over the week before.

Recent Nintendo release Xenoblade Chronicles 3 continues to fall down the charts. This week it's at No.15 after a 50% sales slide.
Spider-Man Remastered is PlayStation's fastest selling PC launch yet in the UK, according to the latest GSD data.
The game's opening week sales are 26% higher than the previous major PlayStation PC title: God of War, which was relesaed in January.
It’s the fourth biggest PC game launch of the year in the UK, behind Elden Ring, Total War: Warhammer 3 and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
Horizon Forbidden West has spent a third week at the top of the UK physical charts.
While the Sony game has enjoyed another burst of sales fuelled by hardware bundles, Nintendo Switch Sports has moved up to No.2, taking the place of Two Point Campus.
Two Point and Sega's university management game launched last week and soared to second place, but has fallen down the charts to No.14 following a 76% decline in sales.
Grand Theft Auto V re-entered the top 10 at No.7 following a 53% increase in sales, as did FIFA 22, which saw a 25% increase in Switch copies sold last week.
Another interesting change came from 2016's PLayStation VR Worlds, which moved from No.40 to No.15 following a 109% increase in sales.
There's one new entry to the charts this week, Madden NFL 23, which landed at No.18.

And, they used to. I know there are reasons for this for now vs back then, but the variety during the PS1 and PS2 era were pretty incredible.No hardware numbers?
Have been back into Horizon, the SunWing really makes the game 100 times better, shoulda given access earlier.
I should finish the main story tonight or tomorrow.
GT7 doing great too.... but looking at all the Nintendo games, Sony really needs to make games in more genres.
From Sony or Partners? Because I don’t remember that variety from Sony itself.And, they used to. I know there are reasons for this for now vs back then, but the variety during the PS1 and PS2 era were pretty incredible.

They should have given access to everything a lot earlier in the game's story in my opinion.
Yup, just wrapped and I really enjoyed the story... I found it more engaging than the first..... it just takes too long to get going at the start.
The flight would have definitely helped expedite things.
Glider shoulda been yours from the very start too.
According to GfK data, Saints Row sold more than five times the number of units in its first week as 2017's Agents of Mayhem, a multiplayer spin-off of the series. Comparisons with earlier Saints Row titles are somewhat tougher due to the shift towards digital sales; the last full entry was 2015's Saints Row: Gat out of Hell.
Only one other new release entered the charts this week: Atlus' Soul Hackers 2, which debuted at No.11.
Saints Row's successful debut ends Horizon: Forbidden West's winning streak, with the PlayStation exclusive spending the last three weeks at No.1. Despite a 120% week-on-week rise in sales, thanks in no small part to being bundled with PS5 consoles, Aloy's adventure had to settle for second place.
Nintendo took the next five spots, with Nintendo Switch Sports, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and the Switch version of Minecraft respectively.
The first two titles dropped one place but saw sales rise over last week, up 5% for Switch Sports and up 9% for Mario Kart. Animal Crossing's sales were up 13%, helping it rise from No.8 to No.5.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus sales remained flat, with the title dropping from No.4 to No.6. Minecraft jumped from No.9 to No.7 thanks to an 18% sales boost.
