Fallout 4 became the best-selling game of the month. Earlier, it was reported that the game achieved similar success in the UK. More than half of all sales were attributed to the PC version.
Also in the top 10 were Fallout 76 (7th place) and Fallout: New Vegas (10th place). Fallout 3 took the 14th spot on the chart.
EA Sports FC 24 narrowly outsold Helldivers II. They hold the second and third spots on the chart, respectively.
Console sales
Data does not include the UK and Germany.
Console sales in European countries dropped by 47%. This is attributed to both the restoration of console availability in stores (there was a sales surge in April 2023 after a shortage) and the absence of major system sellers.
Accessory sales fell by 17% - slightly over 1 million different devices were sold in April 2024. DualSense was the top-selling accessory.
