The game year 2020 is behind us – and in numerous lockdowns it also produced a number of winners. The German game association game has now chosen the most successful games of the year in Germany.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the year 2020 brought one thing above all: a lot of time at home. And the gaming industry will certainly benefit from this, because more gamers sit down longer in front of the TV or PC screen to pass the time. Some titles have particularly benefited from this.
The German game association has now chosen the most successful games of the past year in Germany. The titles are recorded across platforms, physically and digitally, using data from Game Sales Data (GSD).
Unsurprisingly: King Football also ruled the gaming sector again in 2020. FIFA 21 from EA was the best-selling game in 2020 – and was thus able to successfully defend the crown from the previous year. Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Switch, which is also hugely successful worldwide, follows in second place. Separated from this, surprising: With Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and GTA V, two absolute long-running hits follow in 3rd and 4th place, which were not only re-released in 2020. These left the well-known Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War behind, for example.
