In August, several new titles made their mark on Newzoo’s Top 20 revenue charts. EA Sports Madden NFL 27 debuted at No. 2 on console, while House House’s co-op game Big Walk claimed the No. 3 spot on PC.
Star Wars Zero Company by Respawn Entertainment entered the charts at No. 6 on PC and No. 20 on console. Other notable newcomers include Mortal Shell 2 and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam on both platforms.
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls secured the No. 14 spot on console. On PC, How to Fish by Dazed Games debuted at No. 9, and No More Room in Hell 2 by Torn Banner Studios ranked No. 19.
On the console rankings, Pokémon Pokopia surged 21 spots to claim the No. 7 position following the release of its Bubbly Basin DLC, the first of three planned paid updates.
Newzoo analyst Mert Şahin highlighted the success of EA Sports Madden NFL 27, attributing it to the franchise’s longstanding popularity. Meanwhile, Star Wars Zero Company’s success was credited to its well-known IP and positive reviews.
Monthly active user (MAU) rankings by Newzoo revealed that collaborations, cross-media tie-ins, and subscription services were instrumental in expanding audiences beyond traditional game updates.
Fortnite rose to No. 3 in PC MAU rankings and maintained its top spot on console. The addition of content from major franchises like Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Man, and Kingdom Hearts in Chapter 7 Season 4: Override fueled this growth, aligning with Epic’s strategy of combining live-service development with high-profile partnerships in gaming and entertainment.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 climbed 12 spots to No. 12 in console MAU rankings ahead of the Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiere. The release of a free movie-inspired suit update and a limited-time discount encouraged players to return, showcasing how major entertainment releases can drive engagement in related games.
Helldivers 2 made significant jumps in both console and PC rankings, reaching No. 19 on both platforms. Its addition to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium catalogues contributed to this growth, propelling it from No. 50 to No. 18 on the PC revenue charts.
