Has Cyberpunk 2077 really completed its Redemption Arc? For many, yes, for others a little less. What is certain, however, is that the game has been able to reconfirm itself in sales. Thanks to content creator RinoTheBouncer, it has been made known that CD Projekt RED's epic is at the top of the list of best-selling games of this generation. With 25 million copies, the Polish RPG has managed to leave behind other best sellers such as Hogwarts Legacy and Elden Ring. The list, it must be said, does not appear to be very complete, however. with some titles missing. An example? Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Cyberpunk 2077: Cyberware beats Magic, for now
The video game based on the Harry Potter franchise stops at one million copies less, or 24 millionof which a large part achieved by the end of the year. An even more sensational result, to be honest, if you consider that it was achieved in just a year, compared to over three years of Cyberpunk 2077. Equally impressive is the result achieved by FromSoftware with Elden Ringfirmly in third place with 23 million copies, despite belonging to a genre that was considered niche at the time.
Fourth position for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom with 20.28 million copies, obtained in half a year and with the handicap of being released on a single platform such as Nintendo Switch. The most impressive result, however, concerns Palworld. Pocket Pair Inc's video game, which was so successful that it forced the team to look for staff, is in fact one step away from selling 20 million copies. For now, it has to settle for fifth place with 19 million copies. Completing the list, in order, are God of War Ragnarok (15 million), Spider-Man 2 (10 million9 and Baldur's Gate 3 (10 million).
Cyberpunk 2077 leads a list that is admittedly a little incomplete.
The one posted by Rino, however, is actually an incomplete list. In fact, the appeal is missing real best sellers like the already mentioned Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, a video game that in just a handful of days reached 10 million copies and which, in a few months, had almost doubled that figure. The list of games should also include blockbusters like EA SPORTS FC (or FIFA), Call of Duty or even other PlayStation exclusives. Gran Turismo 7, for example, would rightfully enter this list as it is now close to becoming the best-selling video game in the series. Only Gran Turismo 3 is ahead of him with 14.89 million copies sold.
