Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has moved back into the Top 10 of Newzoo’s overall revenue chart for May, having debuted at No.13 in April.
Newzoo noted that this movement was “unusual for a premium title” after its release month, adding that it is “a showcase of the strength of a high-quality game and continued word-of-mouth marketing”.
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time launched at No.20 on the revenue chart, having surpassed one million units sold across all platforms. It also sold 500,000 copies in three days. It debuted at No.3 on the individual revenue chart for Nintendo Switch.
Doom: The Dark Ages debuted at No.9 on the overall chart, which the data firm said was due to “a big portion of revenues being tied to Xbox Game Pass”. Over 95% of the game’s full sales originated from PlayStation and Steam.
In contrast, Xbox players accounted for 72% of monthly active users on Newzoo’s overall engagement chart for the latest Doom title.
Elsewhere, Grand Theft Auto 5 saw a significant jump in users following the premiere of GTA 6’s second trailer, which broke records with 475 million viewers over 24 hours.
A surprising addition to the engagement chart was Star Wars Battlefront 2. The 2017 title saw “a significant surge in player engagement” last month due to “an organic community rally,” according to Newzoo.
It was discounted as part of Star Wars Day, which drew in an influx of players. However, Newzoo noted that 86% of MAU were returning fans.
