The new revenue figures from SuperData are here and show that Epic Games’ Fortnite continues to deliver outstanding results on PS4, Xbox One, and also on PC. There is no trace of Blizzard’s Overwatch in the charts anymore.
The figures from Superdata show the global digital revenues of games in a month.
Oldies dominate on PC
Once again, the big, stable games that are funded month after month by their player base dominate PC games: Games like League of Legends or the Asia trio can be seen here month after month. All of them are older games that continue to be maintained.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds at 5 and Fortnite at 6 are the only somewhat current games on the list.
Otherwise, only oldies can be seen: World of Warcraft is also found at position 7, just like in January, while World of Tanks rolled in at rank 8. Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is back at place 9 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive dropped two places to rank 10.
Fortnite is very strong on consoles – Monster Hunter World can hold its ground.
The console charts still show Call of Duty: WW 2 at rank 1, closely followed by FIFA 18.
On PS4 and Xbox One, however, Fortnite was able to push up to rank 3, showing how popular the battle royale shooter is on console. PUBG is missing here, probably also because the PS4 port is still missing.
Monster Hunter World dropped to rank 4: This is still impressive because Monster Hunter World operates almost without microtransactions.
Interestingly, we find Destiny 2 only in the console charts, and here at rank 7, just like the month before.
Also back are Madden NFL 18 (place 6) and NBA 2K18 (position 8), as well as Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege at rank 10. Position 9 is held by EA Sports UFC 3.
The mobile games charts will soon become very interesting
With the weather slowly improving, it seems that Pokémon GO can also push itself back up to higher ranks and is slowly climbing the mobile games charts.
Fortnite is not yet represented in the list, but that will surely only be a matter of time now that the title can be played by everyone on their smartphones.
It must be noted:
- Fortnite is a stable source of income for Epic Games, not only on PC but even more so on console. Battle Royale is still extremely popular.
- Monster Hunter World remains an exceptional title and earns digital revenue, although it was especially praised for its very tame microtransactions.
- Bungie can still score with Destiny 2 on console, but on PC the players seem to be less willing to pay.
- The coming months will make the mobile games charts very interesting, as both PUBG and Fortnite are playable on smartphones.
- The big loser seems to be Blizzard’s Overwatch, which has completely fallen out of the charts.
