Untitled Goose Game soars behind Fortnite, flocking into the number two spot. It came out in September and has been quite popular among Switch players. It looks like gamers have enjoyed ruining everyone’s day as a disruptive goose.
Luigi’s Mansion 3 was released on the last day of October and has been able to ascend the rankings to number 3, which is a testament of how popular the franchise is.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate sits in the bottom half of the top ten and has been out for almost a year. An update just dropped a few days ago, bringing along the new playable character Terry, from King of Fighters, along with a new battleground, King of Fighters Stadium.
It will be interesting to see how the games fair this month, and with the arrivals of hyped games like Pokémon Sword and Shield, the list may be tweaked a bit for November.
