Evolve’s digital sales haven’t benefited from all of that downloadable content

It’s a bunch of older releases that are making the most from digital sales on consoles.

Familiar games franchises like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto topped the sales chart in February for digital revenue, according to intelligence firm SuperData Research. The only new games to make the list were 2K’s asymmetric online shooter Evolve and Sony’s action game, The Order: 1886, but both performed worse than January’s breakout horror hit Dying Light. Digital sales for both full games and downloadable add-on content is making up a bigger piece of total revenue for publishers on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. And many developers are launching their games with the hopes of piling on a significant amount of extra cash with in-game purchases from a console market that is generating around $50 billion in total sales worldwide.
