It’s that time of the week again! The latest United Kingdom physical game charts have been revealed, with Monster Hunter Rise dropping to fourth place. According to GamesIndusty.biz, Monster Hunter Rise has seen a 74% drop in sales this week, which is typical for a game’s second week. The game is still selling well though, as Capcom has revealed that Monster Hunter Rise has sold over 5 million units worldwide. Interestingly, despite Super Mario 3D All-Stars being discontinued last week, some retailers still have stock of the game. However, compared to last week, the collection of Mario games has seen a 56% drop in sales, placing it at the eighth spot.
Below is the GfK top ten for last week, ending on April 3. The charts are still heavily dominated by Nintendo Switch software.

| 8 | 1 | FIFA 21 |
| 3 | 2 | Animal Crossing: New Horizons |
| 4 | 3 | Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury |

GamesIndustry.biz also reports that Balan Wonderworld by Square Enix hasn’t managed to break the top 40 at all. However, the company has seen better performance with its latest release, Outriders, which released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC last week.
Monster Hunter Rise sales will likely continue to grow at an impressive rate. Capcom has laid out a roadmap for upcoming content, with the first round arriving at the end of this month. What do you think of this week’s U.K. sales charts?
