If, like me, you’ve been in this video game for a long time, you’ll know that the last 3-4 months of the year are always the most important of the year, and that’s usually where most of the titles are. the most anticipated. are concentrated. Some big ones like Halo Infinite are yet to come, but so far we can’t complain.
Two of the proper names from last October are Far Cry 6 and Back 4 Blood. Both games were a hit with critics and fans alike, and neither of them are missing reasons. Now that it’s November, we have sales data from last month, and both games were clear kings.
Far Cry 6 and Back 4 Blood, a success
As can be seen on the portal VentureBeat, both games were the bestsellers of the month for October in the United States. These sales include both physical and digital sales, so it’s not silly. It is impressive to see Back 4 Blood almost as high as Far Cry 6, especially since the game is available from day one on Xbox Game Pass.
Game sales are generally up 11% from the same month in 2020, something very interesting since that month we were caught in the middle of a pandemic with many people confined to their homes. Without a doubt, video games are going through a spectacular time.
