The NPD Group senior analyst Mat Piscatella shared details on video game spending for software and hardware in the United States for July 2022, and MultiVersus scored big. According to Piscatella on Twitter, the platform fighter was the best-selling title of the month across all platforms, thanks to Founder’s Pack sales.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is in third place, which means that two of the top three best-selling games of the month were published by Warner Bros. In year-to-date sales, TT Games’ title ranked in second place behind FromSoftware’s Elden Ring (which recently hit 16.6 million units sold worldwide).
Monolith Soft’s Xenoblade Chronicles 3 also had an impressive debut at fourth place, that too without digital sales included. It’s the best-selling title on Nintendo Switch for July. The final new release of the month was Bandai Namco’s Digimon Survive. Two days of sales were tracked, but it was still enough to net eighth place.
