Spring has officially gotten underway, and Circana has chosen today to share their findings on the best-selling software of February 2024.
Helldivers II, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth reign supreme in latest monthly sales charts
At the peak of the sales charts are two PlayStation console exclusives that both released last month:Helldivers II, which also released on Steam and is currently the best-selling game of 2024, andFinal Fantasy VII Rebirthjust behind it in second for the February charts, and fourth for the year overall. Final Fantasy VII also secured a second spot in the top ten with the Remake & Rebirth Twin Pack showing up at eighth. Notably, perCircana analyst Mat Piscatella on Twitter, nearly 60% of Helldivers II sales came from the PC release, possibly making the case for Sony to do more day one launches across both consoles and computers. Elsewhere,Skull & Boneshad a respectable debut at fourth, while theMario vs. Donkey Kongremake barely missed the top ten by showing up as number eleven, although digital sales were not included. One ofJanuary’s best-selling games,Tekken 8, continued to perform well at fifth, asCall of Duty: Modern Warfare IIIrounded out the top five in third.
In addition to Helldivers II and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, several other 2024 releases are currently among the best-selling games for the year so far. After last year’s Call of Duty at second, Tekken 8 is currently ranked at third, whileSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueis holding on at fifth. Further down,Persona 3 Reloadis staying strong at seventh, and Skull & Bones sold well enough to earn the ninth spot. Only time will tell if Helldivers II can continue to hold on to the top spot, but it’s certainly a promising start for a sequel that didn’t seem to have the same high levels of anticipation as the likes of Final Fantasy and Tekken.
