Minecraft moved from eighth to third in the latest UK software ranking, after the game’s Nintendo Switch 2 edition accounted for 71% of its latest sales. The result comes from Nintendo Life’s chart for the week ending 31 October 2026, published on 2 November.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 retained the top position for a second consecutive week. Activision Blizzard’s shooter was followed by EA SPORTS FC 27, which climbed from third to second, and Minecraft, published by Nintendo in the listed chart data. The ranking covers UK software sales and does not represent sales in the Philippines or the wider Southeast Asian market.
Nintendo Switch 2 versions make an early impact
The chart gives a clear indication of how the Nintendo Switch 2 version contributed to Minecraft’s rise. Nintendo Life reported that the new edition represented 71% of the game’s latest sales in the tracked week. By comparison, the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 represented 5% of that title’s sales, while the game remained at No. 1 overall.
For players in the Philippines who follow Nintendo’s current hardware lineup, the figures provide a published UK snapshot of demand for software tied to the Switch 2 platform. They should not be treated as a local sales measurement, however, since the ranking’s coverage is limited to the United Kingdom.
