Revenue - All Platforms
Black Myth: Wukong was the clear leader in August, far ahead of the competition. The game outpaced another major release, EA Sports Madden NFL 25. Most of the game's sales came from PC, while it ranked 3rd on PlayStation in August.
Star Wars Outlaws had a modest start, debuting at 9th place. Ubisoft has already acknowledged that the game's launch sales did not meet the company's expectations.
The First Descendant couldn't hold its place at the top and fell to 17th in the ranking.
Revenue - Individual Platforms
Valorant launched well on consoles, securing 5th place in revenue on Xbox and 6th place on PlayStation.
Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy showed significant revenue growth on Xbox, but the game was actually added to Game Pass. The algorithms may have miscalculated this.

Black Myth: Wukong entered the top 20 on PC by MAU. It didn’t make it on PlayStation, but this could be due to its late release (August 19).
