The latest Gfk charts for physical game sales in the United Kingdom are in and TT Games’ LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is at number one yet again. Despite sales dropping 70 percent week-on-week, it’s still the top-selling title in its second week and the fastest-selling LEGO game in the region’s history. While it garnered the most sales on PS5 at launch, the Nintendo Switch version has proven more popular for the week ending April 16th.
