As is typical, physical games for Nintendo Switch dominate, with only Stellar Blade managing to keep up with the big N and placing a PS5 title in fifth position. The usual well-known names of Nintendo do well, occupying seven positions out of ten. The only new addition is TOKYO PSYCHODEMIC, a dramatic detective game that has a negative user rating on Steam, although it can only count on 50 Japanese reviews (there is no English version).
