Best Selling PS4 Games of 2018
9. Far Cry 5
Even if critics weren’t thrilled with the game’s story or repetitive design, Far Cry 5 proved popular among buyers throughout the year.
Premiering on the PlayStation Store best-sellers chart after its launch in March, the title held fast throughout the year and continued to draw in new players with its sprawling open world and zany cast of characters to fight with or against.
As such, it’s no surprise that the game proved a best seller overall. It saw the second biggest launch of all time for publisher/developer Ubisoft with $310 million made in its first week alone.
While the exact figures for the game’s sales on PS4 aren’t yet available, an early estimate of its sales saw 60 percent of all retail copies purchased in the UK go to the PS4, falling in line with the company’s overall earnings and figures report covering the period.
It also helps that prior to the holidays, Ubisoft revealed Far Cry: New Dawn, a direct sequel to Far Cry 5, was in the works, no doubt drawing people in for some late-in-the-year sales to bring its total tally up.
