Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Debuts Tops UK Boxed Charts, Physical Release Outsells Pokopia
The GFK has published their list of bestselling games in the UK for the week ending in April 17th 2026, giving us our first sales data for Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream.
According to GFK’s data, Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream topped the physical game sales charts for the week, even beating out Square Enix’s Pragmata.
Chris Dring of The Game Business also chimed in to say that Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream‘s physical release managed to outsell Nintendo’s other recently launched cozy game Pokemon Pokopia by 36%. This result can likely be attributed to the much larger Switch install base compared to the Switch 2, as well as Pokemon Pokopia being undersupplied at launch.
