Command & Conquer games flooded the European charts in March after EA put out a bundle of games on Steam.

 

Five titles in the iconic strategy series make the Top Ten, led by Command & Conquer Generals at No.4. The result of this means that new releases such as WWE 2K24 (No.12), Rise Of The Ronin (No.18) and Princess Peach Showtime (No.23), all chart lower than expected. There are 11 Command & Conquer titles in the Top 20.

 

In total, 15.9 million console and PC games were sold across European markets, according to GSD (which tracks digital and physical console and PC game sales). That’s a rise of 35% over the same four-week period last year. For the full quarter, game sales are up more than 9% across Europe, which is better than many analysts had predicted. This is despite the absence of Palworld data from the charts (Palworld was a particularly big hit in January).

 

For March, Helldivers 2’s stay at the top of the European charts is over as the game drops to No.2, but it's still delivering impressive numbers. EA Sports FC24 reclaimed its position at No.1.

 

There was one new game that managed to overcome the deluge of Command & Conquer titles and that was Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma 2, which was a strong hit across Europe. It’s one of two big Japanese RPGs to launch this year so far, following Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth at the end of February.

 

Comparing the first two weeks on sale for both games, Final Fantasy just about beat Dragon’s Dogma. Note: Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth was only released on PS5, whereas Dragon’s Dogma 2 is on PS5, PC and Xbox.

 

 

The Top 10:

  1. EA Sports FC 24 (EA)
  2. Helldivers 2 (Sony)
  3. Dragon’s Dogma 2 (Capcom)
  4. Command & Conquer: Generals (EA)
  5. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege (Ubisoft)
  6. Grand Theft Auto 5 (Rockstar)
  7. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 (EA)
  8. Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (EA)
  9. Command & Conquer: Renegade (EA)
  10. Command & Conquer: Red Alert (EA)
