In October 2024, Call of Duty cemented its place as the top-grossing video game across six key markets – France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, and the US. The franchise, including titles like Modern Warfare 2/3, Warzone, and Black Ops 6, showcased its enduring popularity and remarkable ability to capture player spending.

Close contenders on the revenue charts included Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, EA Sports FC 25, and Fortnite, which secured second, third, and fourth positions, respectively. Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero! demonstrated exceptional performance on consoles, ascending to second place in revenue despite not featuring in the overall top 20 for monthly active users.

Meanwhile, Silent Hill 2 Remake marked a significant comeback for Konami’s iconic survival horror franchise. The game’s strong debut in ninth place highlighted the appeal of well-executed remakes, resonating deeply with both longtime fans and new audiences. This release underscored Konami’s ability to breathe new life into a dormant series with carefully crafted updates.

Another noteworthy performer was Super Mario Party Jamboree, which made an impressive debut in sixth place on the overall revenue chart. Despite its exclusivity to the Nintendo Switch, the game topped the console’s individual rankings, further reinforcing the enduring popularity of Nintendo’s family-oriented titles.

On the engagement front, Fortnite maintained its position as the world’s most-played game across all platforms. Despite Call of Duty’s record-breaking launch weekend, which achieved unprecedented franchise sales, it ranked second in terms of player engagement.

Overall, October 2024 demonstrated the diverse tastes of gamers, with high-performing titles spanning genres from sports to battle royale, survival horror, and anime-inspired adventures. The month also highlighted the success of nostalgic franchises, reinvigorated with modern technology, alongside fresh and dynamic gameplay experiences that keep players coming back for more.
