\"EA<\/p>\n

The European video game market experienced a slight 1% uptick in 2024, marking a year of mixed performance for the industry. According to GSD data shared with VGC, a total of 188.1 million PC and console games were sold across the continent. Despite this modest growth, shifts in digital and physical game sales highlighted evolving consumer preferences.<\/p>\n

Digital Dominance and Physical Decline<\/strong><\/p>\n

Digital sales surged in 2024, with 131.6 million games sold\u2014a robust 15% increase compared to 2023. In stark contrast, physical game sales plummeted by 22%, accounting for just 56.5 million units. This clear trend toward digital purchasing continues to reshape the retail landscape for games.<\/p>\n

Top Performers: EA Sports FC 25 and Call of Duty<\/strong><\/p>\n

EA Sports FC 25<\/a> claimed the crown as Europe\u2019s best-selling game of 2024, despite a 5% dip in sales compared to its predecessor, FC 24. Activision Blizzard\u2019s Call of Duty: Black Ops 6<\/a> secured second place, achieving a 9% increase in launch sales over Modern Warfare 3 from 2023\u2014a notable achievement given its late-year release.<\/p>\n

Sony\u2019s Helldivers 2<\/a> emerged as the most successful new IP, debuting at sixth place. However, new releases collectively represented only 27% of total sales, down from 34% in 2023. Meanwhile, legacy titles like Fallout 4 saw a remarkable resurgence, climbing to 19th place with sales skyrocketing 183%, fueled by the buzz around Amazon\u2019s adaptation and aggressive discounting.<\/p>\n

Console Sales Drop Across the Board<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hardware market faced significant challenges, with console sales declining 21% overall. Xbox Series X|S bore the brunt of this downturn, suffering a staggering 48% drop. Despite leading the market, PlayStation 5 sales fell by 20%, while Nintendo Switch sales declined 15% in its eighth year on the market. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
