According to the data released by GSD Market Data, reported by GamesIndustry.biz, Elden Ring turns out to be the best-selling game in Europe in the first half of 2022, beating real sacred monsters of the videogame market such as FIFA 22 and Pokémon.
This is a truly impressive result for the FromSoftware game, considering also that it can hardly be considered as a classic Blockbuster, given its structure and the level of a challenge proposed. So let’s see the ranking of the best-selling games in Europe in the first half of 2022:
- Elden Ring
- FIFA 22
- Pokémon Legends: Arceus
- Grand Theft Auto 5
- LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
- Horizon: Forbidden West
- Gran Turismo 7
- Mario Kart 8: Deluxe
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Nintendo Switch Sports
- Mario Party Superstars
- Kirby and the Forgotten Land
- NBA 2K22
- F1 2022
- Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition
- Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla
- Big Brain Academy: Brain vs Brain
- Call of Duty: Vanguard
- Far Cry 6
- Just Dance 2022
Nintendo games, which are also present in good quantity, do not count on digital data, since these are not included in the GSD count, which could hide a somewhat different situation in the general ranking, given that they could probably climb some positions considering all copies sold between physical and digital.
However, this is the picture that emerges from data collection in Europe in the first half of the year, with 76.1 million games sold in total and 44 million of these having been detected on the digital market (which further confirms the doubts. on the true location of Nintendo Switch games).
The most important markets are Germany, with 15.4 million games, the United Kingdom with 14.3 million and France with 10.2 million copies sold, all with an overall increase recorded in 2022 compared to the year.
