Overview

  • GSD’s Europe-wide ranking for the week ending 5 October places Ghost of Yotei second on units and revenue, with opening sales in line with 2020’s Ghost of Tsushima.
  • EA Sports FC 26 held the top spot for a third week as its standard edition sales fell 62% week over week.
  • The launch is described as the strongest recent first‑party PlayStation start since October 2023’s Spider‑Man 2, based on GSD’s participating digital publishers and full physical data.
  • The Steam Autumn Sale propelled older titles into the Top Ten by units, with Doom Eternal, Far Cry Primal and South Park surging on deep discounts.
  • Nintendo’s digital sales are not included in GSD, and the Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 double pack debuted at No. 3 on relatively light physical sales, while newer releases like Silent Hill F and Sonic Racing CrossWorlds dropped out of the Top 20 by units but remained in the revenue chart.
