Fortnite Tops Digital Console Charts, Loses to PUBG on PC in June According to Superdata
Fortnite Tops Digital Console Charts, Loses to PUBG on PC in June According to Superdata-December 2024
Dec 19, 2024 4:20 AM

  Digital video game sales tracker Superdata have released their report for June, and, surprise surprise, Fortnite Battle Royale is still making a lot of money! Fortnite topped the console sales charts, but, somewhat surprisingly, they were overtaken by PUBG on the PC side of things. This is due to PUBG going on sale for the first time ever, which resulted in 4.7 million new unit sales. Ultimately though, the #1 spot on the PC charts belonged to good, old, dependable League of Legends.

  Not a lot of new games on the charts, although The Crew 2 did manage to snag the #4 spot on the console chart. According to Superdata, the game sold around 800,000 digital copies across PC and consoles. You can check out the full PC, console, and mobile charts, below:

There’s only so much gamer cash to go around, and Epic Games is hoarding a lot of it to themselves right now.

  Anything about Superdata’s June charts surprise you? What game do you think will be 2018’s top-earner when all is said and done?
