European Game Sales Show Resilience Despite 1.6% Decline in First Half of 2024

Strong performance attributed to steady demand and key releases, even as major AAA launches were fewer compared to 2023.

Nearly 80 million PC and console games sold across Europe in the first six months of 2024.
Top-selling games include EA Sports FC 24 and Helldivers 2, with only two 2024 releases making the top ten.
Hardware sales fell 24%, with PS5 showing the smallest decline among major consoles.
Revenue impacted more severely due to lower prices for many top-selling games.
Missing digital sales data from Nintendo and some indie developers affects overall sales figures.
