What happened
On July 25, 2026, Splatoon Raiders entered the UK retail software charts at the top slot, displacing the franchise’s recent Assassin’s Creed releases. The new multiplayer shooter claimed the number‑one position in the weekly sales tally, marking its first appearance at the summit of the market. VGChartz recorded the debut as a first‑place entry, while Games Asylum noted the title’s placement alongside two Assassin’s Creed games that remained inside the top ten.
Nintendo Life’s chart roundup echoed the shift, and GoNintendo’s weekly sales summary for the week ending July 25 listed Splatoon Raiders at the peak of the list. Earlier data from Nintendo Everything for the week ending July 18 showed the Assassin’s Creed entries already positioned high, but not leading. The available data cover only two consecutive weeks, so the durability of Splatoon Raiders’ lead cannot be gauged from the current reports.
Neither outlet provided longer‑term trend analysis, and the earlier week’s charts still featured the Assassin’s Creed titles prominently. Monitoring the next weekly releases will indicate whether the new title sustains its advantage or if the franchise regains the summit.
