Game sales Round-up (17.01.2024 - 06.02.2024)

Ubisoft's recent game sales; Palworld is winning everywhere; Grand Theft Auto Trilogy is a big success for Netflix.

• 19 million people played Palworld within 13 days of release. 12 million bought the game on Steam; 7 million are Xbox owners. Console sales are difficult to calculate because the game was distributed for free on Xbox Game Pass. The game became the largest launch in Microsoft's subscription service by a third-party developer.

• Street Fighter 6 surpassed the mark of 3 million copies sold within 7 months of release. It took 3 days to reach the first million. The total series sales are over 52 million copies.

• Video Game Chronicle reports that sales of Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope are at 3 million copies. Earlier, there were talks that the game hadn’t met sales expectations. Ubisoft stated that the game was rushed to release.

• Mobile game Whiteout Survival earned over $400 million in 11 months. 33% of revenue is from the US; 20% is from South Korea.

• Lethal Company likely surpassed 10 million copies sold. The solo developer earned $113.9 million before deductions and taxes. There is now one more millionaire in the world.

• eFootball by Konami has been downloaded over 700 million times.

• The Grand Theft Auto trilogy on Netflix for mobile devices has been downloaded over 22 million times. GTA: San Andreas - 13.6 million downloads; GTA Vice City - 4.6 million; GTA III - 3.7 million. Netflix is very satisfied with the achievement and stated that this launch brought them subscribers specifically for games for the first time. The company will monitor their behavior.

• Enshrouded was bought over a million times within 4 days of release. It's another Survival project with crafting. The game had 160 thousand concurrent players in the first weekend.

• Sales of Ubisoft's latest games have appeared online. Rumors suggest Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown - 300 thousand players ($15 million revenue); Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - 1.9 million players ($133 million revenue); Assassin’s Creed Mirage - 5 million players ($250 million revenue). This is a leakage, so it should be approached skeptically.

• World of Tanks has earned over $7 billion. Over 350 million people have registered in the game over time. Chris Chang, franchise director, shared this on his LinkedIn profile.

• Resident Evil 4: Remake reached 6.48 million copies sold by the end of 2023. It's the best-selling game in the series' history.

• Farming Simulator 22 calmly reached its 6 million copies sold. Cool.

• Satisfactory sold 5.5 million copies in 5 years of "early access." Developers promise to release the full version this year.
