Newzoo: Top 20 PC/Console Games by Revenue and MAU (August'25)
Battlefield 6 attracted a massive audience; 3 new titles are in the August top-20 by Revenue.
Newzoo tracks the markets of the US, UK, Spain, Germany, Italy, and France.
Revenue – all platforms
In August, three major new entries hit the top 20: EA Sports Madden NFL 26 (2nd place), Mafia: The Old Country (6th place), and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater (15th place).
Mafia: The Old Country earned about two-thirds of its revenue on PlayStation, driven by player preferences on the platform and its audience size.
World of Warcraft jumped up 12 spots to 8th place, thanks to the start of preorders for The Midnight expansion on August 19.
Apex Legends returned to the top 20 following the Showdown update.
Revenue – individual platforms
Helldivers II had a strong debut on Xbox, taking 2nd place by revenue in August, behind only EA Sports Madden NFL 26.
On PlayStation, Gears of War: Reloaded launched in 14th place. Not the strongest debut, but the magnitude of games is quite different.
Nintendo Switch saw three new entries in the top 20: Tiny Bookshop (3rd place), EA Sports Madden NFL 26 (10th place—highlighting very different audience preferences), and Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar (15th place).
MAU – all platforms
There was unusually high movement in the MAU rankings. First, Battlefield 6 entered the overall chart in 3rd place—and that’s just the beta. On the back of its popularity, Battlefield 2042 also climbed back into the top 20.
Delta Force launched on consoles, pushing it into the overall top 20. Helldivers II also spiked in activity, boosted both by its new update and Xbox release.
On Nintendo Switch, there was one new MAU entry - Tiny Bookshop.
