November 2024 went almost perfectly for Farming Simulator 25. Only one title was able to sell more units.
Publishes at regular intervals Association of the Europe games industry a list of the 20 best-selling PC and console games of the previous month.
The current report from the Game Association tells us which titles were particularly relevant in Europey in November 2024 – both on the digital and physical markets.
No new entry at number 1
Normally the gaming charts are topped by new entries – but not in November 2024. The place was grabbed by EA Sports FC 25, which already won the gold medal in September 2024. However, it's not that surprising, after all, its predecessor EA Sports FC 24 was in the top 10 and mostly even in the top 5 of the charts for a whole year.
Second place goes directly to a newcomer, namely Farming Simulator 25 from the Swiss studio Giants Software. According to Games Economy The game has already sold over 2 million times within the first week.

Another new addition is Nintendo's new role-playing game Mario & Luigi: Brothership, which managed to reach seventh place. However, it is still behind Super Mario Party Jamboree, which has been in the top 5 for the second month with fifth place. This is particularly impressive since Nintendo only counts physical sales.
Also interesting is the re-entry of Metro: Exodus at number 9. The shooter probably benefited from this Big discount during the Steam Fall Sales as well as the release of the technically disastrous genre rival Stalker 2, which will have lured fans into the hands of alternatives. At least that's what happened to our newsroom manager Phil. Speaking of Stalker 2: Where is that actually?
That's why Stalker 2 is missing: Although Stalker 2 already sold over 1 million units after two daysit doesn't appear in the game charts. This is because GSC Game World has not transferred the sales figures to the game association. Therefore, only physical sales count, which are likely to be low due to the console exclusivity of the Xbox Series X/S and its availability in Game Pass.

This is how the data is collected
The Association of the Europe games industry writes about data collection on his website:
The data is collected on the basis of Games Sales Data (GSD), a platform launched by VGE (Video Games Europe) to measure physical and digital sales of video games.
In Europey, in addition to numerous retailers and publishers, digital platforms such as Nintendo eShop, PSN, Steam and Xbox Live also take part in GSD. Digital sales of Nintendo titles from Nintendo eShop are not included.
Nintendo games are rarely represented in the game charts because only physical sales are taken into account. Additionally, subscriptions like Xbox Game Pass and EA Play are not counted, meaning the numbers of games generating revenue through these offerings are accurate, but somewhat skewed in terms of success.
