Remnant II shoots to top of best-seller list | Circana July 2023

Gunfire Games’ Remnant II topped the list of best-selling games this July, according to industry-tracking firm Circana. The soulslike shooter joined Steam’s best-seller list shortly after it debuted in July. Other July releases that managed to snag a place in the top 20 include Pikmin 4 and Exoprimal, the latter despite its debut on Xbox Game Pass. Older Call of Duty games are also making a resurgence.

“Spending on video game content increased by 2% in July when compared to a year ago, reaching $3.7 billion,” said Mat Piscatella, Circana’s executive producer for games reports. “On console and PC platforms, digital premium download spending gains offset declines in in physical and digital add-on purchases. Both mobile and non-mobile video game subscription spending were up slightly.”
