Germany: Elden Ring on the podium of the year 2022 with FIFA and Pokémon


Like everywhere in Europe, it is difficult to come and get the FIFA king, who therefore takes first place before his historic name change to EA Sports FC. That said, Pokémon Legends: Arceus can be proud of its second place. Admittedly, the game was released in January, which gave it the whole year to accumulate sales, but it is also penalized by the absence of download sales, which Nintendo is the only one not to communicate. This does not prevent him from slipping seven games into this ranking, including three Pokémon.

But the event of the year 2022 is of course called Elden Ring, a new license (which could also have been called Dark Souls 4, of course) from FromSoftware which makes Bandai Namco happy by placing itself on the third step of the podium, doing better than franchises like LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. Note also the presence of four games stamped 2K, including The Quarry which brings up the rear.

The performance of PlayStation Studios games will also remain as one of the markers for 2022, with Sony Interactive Entertainment placing three titles in the top ten. Small local peculiarities compared to other rankings, the sales of God of War Ragnarok did not have time to exceed those of Horizon Forbidden West, and the two blockbusters are beaten by Gran Turismo 7.
