Sony Says that Gta V once Again Takes the Top Spot

On Friday, PlayStation released its monthly game sales charts for PS5, PS4, F2P, and PSVR games. Grand Theft Auto 5 has again topped the charts in the United States, Canada, and Europe. This improved from last month, when they ranked fourth and third, respectively.

According to the PS4 chart, Grand Theft Auto V maintained its position as Europe’s fourth most popular game last month. The game climbed one spot, from sixth to fifth, on the charts in North America. More PS5s have been released into the wild in the past month, which may explain the uptick in downloads.

To be included in the PS4 chart, Red Dead 2 must be played on the PS4. It peaked at 3rd on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and Canada and 6th in Europe. A month ago, it ranked sixth in both areas.

Europe Chart Placements

Gamesindustry.biz has published the GfK report on the European charts for game sales in January 2023. Data from online and offline sales place GTA 5 in second place on the continent. Red Dead Redemption 2 followed close behind in third place. If we look back to December 2022, we can see that GTA V is now in fourth place, up from fifth, and RDR2 is now in ninth place, up from ninth.

Chart Positions in the United Kingdom

On Friday, GfK announced through gamesindustry.biz the results of their January 2023 survey of video game sales in the United Kingdom. The report contains some exciting takeaways concerning GTA V and RDR2.

To begin, video game sales in January 2023 totaled just over 2 million units, down slightly from the same month the year before. Sales of both Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 increased in March compared to the same month a year ago, despite the industry-wide downturn.

Even if Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 didn’t sell as well as last year, their positions on the charts are impressive. In the United Kingdom in January of 2023, GTA V was the second best-selling video game, behind only FIFA 23.

The release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus in January 2019 moved this year’s ranking up from 2022. In addition, the game will advance two spots in the rankings beginning in December 2022.

Red Dead Redemption 2, meanwhile, has kept rolling along as a western epic should. From its previous position of fifth place a year ago, it rose to fourth place in sales last month. It’s December 2022 ranking of 11th represents a significant improvement over the previous year.

An interesting addition

Even though Grand Theft Auto 5 is still selling well, the PC version of Grand Theft Auto Online is now a certified hit. This iteration was not featured on the charts because it was not available on any platforms before the release of the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles in the spring of 2017.

Even though it wasn’t featured on the charts in December 2022, it still placed eighth last month. As more and more information about the Los Santos Drug Wars trickles out, it will be fascinating to watch this situation unfold.
