As 2020 continues on with both big and small releases, Europe has revealed its best-selling games for 2019, which is topped by FIFA 20.
With the top-selling Xbox One games of North America in 2019 having already been revealed, featuring Grand Theft Auto 5, Mortal Kombat 11, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Europe had yet to reveal its best-selling games for the year of 2020.
While there aren’t too many surprises among the games, there are some that continue their streaks years after their respective releases. The list is as follows:
- FIFA 20
- Grand Theft Auto 5
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
- FIFA 19
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
- Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
FIFA 20 and FIFA 19 don’t come as too much of a surprise, as soccer is incredibly popular across the continent of Europe. Further, Grand Theft Auto 5 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe both prove to be dominating forces among video game sales since their 2013 and 2017 releases, respectively.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare‘s placement on the list is also somewhat expected. The game was 2020’s best-selling game in April alone and has turned out to be the best-selling Call of Duty entry so far.
As Red Dead Redemption 2 was a late 2018 release, and one of that year’s most anticipated titles, it makes sense that it would see strong sales over the course of 2019. Further, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was one of 2019’s most anticipated titles and has since proven a success for EA, which is carrying on the Star Wars video game brand with Star Wars: Squadrons.
Rainbow Six Siege, which has a PS5 and Xbox Series X version in the works, performed strongly in Europe for 2019. With Ubisoft continually working on the game, which will soon feature Splinter Cell‘s Sam Fisher as a playable operator, the game has had a massive multiplayer following that pushes on nearly five years after the game’s initial release.
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled‘s appearance on the list might be the only oddball of the list, considering other 2019 releases like The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Resident Evil 2, and Gears 5. However, the game also proved to be a well-received hit and captured the essence of the 1999 original.
2020’s best-selling game so far, as of July, remains Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which is trailed by Animal Crossing: New Horizons and The Last of Us Part 2. However, the Xbox Series X and PS5 are set to release this holiday season, which could shake things up by the end of the year.
