The October releases keep coming thick and fast, and the latest UK charts once again sees a handful of newbies in the top 10.

Nothing performed well enough to kick EA Sports FC 27 from the top spot, unfortunately, but Control Resonant arrived in second and Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse whipped up a third-place debut, with 45% of sales coming from Switch. Toy Story: Retro Roundup! + Toy Story 3 Complete Edition kept the good times going at fourth, and Fireshine Games’ Valor Mortis rounded out the top 10 newbies in ninth.

Elsewhere, Tales of Eternia: Remastered made its chart debut in 15th, Bluey’s Happy Snaps benefitted on some Switch 1 and 2 sales to take 34th, and Kingdom Hearts Collection, which put up an admirable fifth-place start last week, has tumbled all the way down to 31.

Here’s the full top 40, with platform breakdowns for games available on Switch, Switch 2, and other consoles:
