The results are in for Europe's October video game sales, and there are some interesting facts and figures to chew on. As always, GamesIndustry.biz has all the details.

For one, Dragon Age: The Veilguard landed at number seven in the monthly chart, but its launch week sales were down compared to other RPGs of 2024. Sales were about 18 per cent lower than Dragon's Dogma 2, and 21 per cent below Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth — which didn't meet Square Enix's typically lofty expectations. Hopefully we learn more from EA about the game's sales in future.

Elsewhere, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the main contributor to a year-on-year increase of 12.4 per cent for Europe's games market. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been a huge success for the franchise, with its launch sales more than doubling those of the next fastest-selling Dragon Ball title (Kakarot).

Other new releases in the top 10 include Silent Hill 2 and Undisputed.

On the hardware side, sales are down year-on-year by 26 percent. PS5's October sales are down by nearly 29 per cent, while Switch is down 10 per cent and Xbox Series down about 49 per cent.

Here's the software top 10 for Europe in October 2024 (physical and digital data included).

  1. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (Activision Blizzard)
  2. EA Sports FC 25 (EA)
  3. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero (Bandai Namco)
