PC/Console Games
The total number of players in Death Stranding has surpassed 20 million. This figure does not represent sales, as the game was distributed through subscription services.
PowerWash Simulator has been played by over 17 million people. Again, this is not sales, but the number is impressive.
Monster Hunter Wilds sold 10 million copies in its first month, with 8 million sold within the first three days of release.
Newzoo shared some insights on the launch sales of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II across six countries (USA, UK, France, Spain, Italy, and Germany). In February, the digital version generated $64.6 million. The leading countries by MAU were the USA (37%), Germany (9%), UK (7%), Russia (5%), and France (5%).
Over 3 million people have played Assassin's Creed Shadows. The game is available for free in Ubisoft+'s highest tier, so these are not sales figures. Ubisoft also noted that it was their second-best D1 launch sales-wise and their largest PlayStation Store launch in history.
Since its release on March 27 this year, Atomfall has been played by over 1.5 million people, according to an official account announcement.
