    The 2024 game annual charts spotlight Germany’s most successful new PC and console releases, reflecting the nation’s diverse gaming tastes. Compiled by Games Sales Data (GSD), operated by Video Games Europe (VGE), the rankings combine physical and digital sales across platforms, offering a clear snapshot of market trends and consumer preferences.

    Topping the list of top games in Germany is EA SPORTS FC 25 by Electronic Arts, a football simulation that dominated charts since its September launch. The top five—Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Helldivers 2, Farming Simulator 25, and Super Mario Party Jamboree—showcase the broad range of gaming experiences that captivated players in 2024.

    The 2024 charts spotlight top publishers dominating Germany’s gaming industry. Electronic Arts led with EA SPORTS FC 25 and EA SPORTS F1 24, excelling in sports simulations. Activision Blizzard had a successful year with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, while Sony Interactive Entertainment impressed with Helldivers 2 and The Last of Us Part II Remastered. Nintendo delivered hits like Super Mario Party Jamboree and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and Ubisoft stood out with Star Wars Outlaws, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and Skull and Bones.

    Excluded from the list of top games in Germany were digital sales from the Nintendo eShop and games like Black Myth: Wukong, whose publishers did not submit data.
