Then it's the Xbox Wireless controller, which saw a huge jump in sales thanks to the launch of a special edition Starfield version. Over in accessories, Sony's DualSense controller is No.1, with sales up 6.6% over last year. PS5 reclaims its spot as Europe's No.1 console, having had to settle for second place last month due to the success of Nintendo Switch and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This is due to a spike in sales of PlayStation 5 (up 116%), while Switch sales are down slightly (-2.3%) and Xbox Series S and X sales are basically flat (sales down 0.8%). Over in hardware, just 500,700 games consoles were sold across tracked European markets last month, which is up 33% over last June. In terms of purely physical retail sales, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom just about held Diablo 4 off from the No.1 position.

It's a disappointing launch for the official racing game, with sales down almost 47% compared with what F1 22 managed over the same period. The next biggest new release is F1 23 from EA. Final Fantasy 16 is a slightly different take on the series, and the 2020 game was released near the start of the COVID-19 lockdowns (and when the console install base was higher), which may explain the drop. The game's launch is 24% down compared with the last major Final Fantasy game: 2020's Final Fantasy 7: Remake. In second place is Square Enix's Final Fantasy 16. Over 66% of Diablo 4 sales were on PC, with over 21% on PS5 and just under 9% on Xbox Series S and X. ![]() Zelda is the third fastest-selling game, but that game is missing its digital download data (Nintendo doesn't share this information), so it's possible Diablo 4 is really No.3 in terms of the list of fastest selling games of the year.ĭiablo 4 is the biggest video game launch in June since the GSD charts began in 2017.
