One notable trend in the February 2024 rankings is the absence of any Nintendo titles in the top 10 list.

Hogwarts Legacy, a highly anticipated title from Warner Bros, also made it to the top 10, landing at the seventh position.

This decline is significant compared to other consoles, with the PS5 only experiencing a 2 percent dip and the Xbox Series S and X falling by 47 percent. These numbers indicate a shifting landscape in the gaming industry, with players potentially exploring different platforms and gaming experiences.

The top-selling game in Europe for February 2024 was Helldivers 2 from Sony, followed by EA Sports FC 24, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Grand Theft Auto 5, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 rounding out the top five.
