The Entertainment Software Association of Canada and Circana (formerly NPD) have revealed the best-selling games in Canada in April 2024: In terms of Canadian connections to these games, it’s worth noting that NHL 24 was made by EA Vancouver , while Quebec City’s Beenox assisted with the development of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III . Additionally, Bethesda Game Studios, which developed Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 , has an office in Montreal . Finally, Toronto Blue Jay Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
is the cover athlete of MLB The Show 24. The top two games aren’t exactly a surprise, given how popular Helldivers 2 has continued to be ( even amid controversy ), while Stellar Blade has been a well-received Nier- inspired action game. What’s perhaps more notable is that Fallout 4 and 76 both charted despite being several years old.
This is no doubt thanks to Prime Video’s recently released Fallout TV series, which has been a huge hit and has already been renewed for a second season . Sea of Thieves is another old game that charted, clearly driven by the recent PS5 port . It’s one of multiple games that Xbox decided to port to rival consoles , and so far, that multiplatform approach seems to be working.
