While college football is giving way to the pros in North America, Mafia is conquering the charts in Europe. In addition, numerous older titles are celebrating their comeback in the Top 20, including The Crew Motorfest, which is likely benefiting from the Stop Killing Games debate.
There are months when game charts are fairly predictable. In September, EA Sports FC 26 will take over all the top spots in Europe. In the US, a similar statement can be made for August when the new Madden is released. And lo and behold: Madden NFL 26 displaces College Football 26 from the top spot and positions itself ahead of Ready or Not and Mafia: The Old Country, which only lands in third place in North America.
The situation is different in Europe, where the 2K game storms to the top of the charts, although it is unlikely to stay there when soccer takes over in September.
However, this month's EU PlayStation charts show other notable features: Among Us, No Man's Sky, and Raft are some of the long-term sellers returning to the top 20. This is a sure sign that there is a lack of new releases. Also interesting is the eighth place occupied by The Crew Motorfest. The game is likely to have been boosted by the ongoing Stop Killing Games debate, which has made it all the way to the EU Parliament in Europe. This debate was sparked by its predecessor, The Crew, and its discontinuation by Ubisoft.
