The Rockstar title, six years old, remains a leader in downloads thanks to its updates and its renewal of content.
Grand Theft Auto 5 was the most downloaded video game of this past Christmas of 2019 through the digital portals of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in Eiropa, Africa and the Middle East. As reported by the latest GSD report, via GamesIndustry, the popular Rockstar title has lived its sixth end of the year parties all over the place, in a state of fireproof form despite being already part of the collection of more than 115 millions of players worldwide if we add all its versions.
FIFA 20 was the best selling game in physical format in computed countries. The Electronic Arts video game, the best selling in Spain, extends its global success in the West, where football is the king sport both in practitioners and in media coverage. Beyond these two cases, which can be considered extraordinary because of their high distance from the sales of other video games, we have a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare that reports — summing up physical and digital sales — the best figures of the last five years.
Also, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order benefits from the premiere effect of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and closes the podium with aspirations to meet the financial objectives of Electronic Arts, which placed the title around 6 and 8 million units before finishing this fiscal year in March 2020. Finally, highlight Luigi's Mansion 3 in fifth place, which is a leader in exclusive games.
