1. Black Myth Wukong
"it's certainly the biggest success in years (20M units sold in 1 month). It also has great legs despite its explosive launch."
2. Helldivers II
"Finally a GaaS blowing up like Sony wanted. Since Magicka they know how to make very fun coop games, it was a matter of time and resources to finally blow up."
3. Palworld
"What's to say that hasn't been already said? Despite its controversies, the game is uniquely its own (just ignore the blatant Pal-design plagiarism). Can the game create a platform that will keep players coming back? Time will tell, but it was quite the entrance."
4. EA College Football 25
"Now that's a comeback. Not just a return of college football, but quite literally *the* best selling sports game in the US ever. Ever."
5. Balatro
"It might not be the biggest in terms of sheer numbers, but a one-man game selling over 3 million is impressive and rare."
9. Super Mario Party Jamboree
Fastest selling Mario Party game in Europe, 900K+ sold at retail in Japan in less than 3 months 🥳
10. Steam and Marvel Rivals - ex-aeqo
CCU all-time peak record for Steam and 481.000 CCU peak for Marvel Rivals in December 2024 📈
