It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Sports favorites topped the charts in US/Canada and EU, with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26, respectively.
Juggernaut GTA V found a home in the top three for both regions, with new 2025 release Battlefield 6 claiming second place in the US. Fortnite took top place for free-to-play games, and Beat Saber continues its PS VR2 success."
I think it shows how shortsighted it was for Sony to let go of Evolution and not get them to make some sort of competitor (open world Driveclub?) 10 years ago.
After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.
It’s funny to watch the only games EU and USA agree on was Minecraft and back ops 7 both regions on 6 and 7 spot respectively other than that FIFA rules EU

I would like to see a list that has both free to play and paid games together, but at least we have this.
To this day GTA5 is a top downloaded game and it makes me wonder if the industry is really ready for GTA6. I imagine almost nothing else will sell during that game's release window.
Thanks to developer Codemasters we can once again take to the tracks in EA Sports F1 25, but is this years' game a worthwhile upgrade or does it play things to safe?
EA Sports FC 25 has remained first place on the UK retail charts, according to GfK data for the week ending February 22, 2025.
There were two new releases in the top 40 this week. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii debuted in second place and Dog Man: Mission Impawsible debuted in 28th place.
Every year, I wish Pro Evo was still around. EA is shamefully living off old code and little innovation.
