Best Selling PS4 Games of 2018
8. Monster Hunter World
Considering the repeated sales records the title broke over the course of the year, it’s no surprise Monster Hunter World made it as high as it did among the PS4’s best selling titles.
Launching in January, the title saw exceptional sales right out the gate and topped the PlayStation Store’s digital sales chart. It held the slot until Far Cry 5’s launch in March, after which it maintained a position in the top 10 throughout the year.
The game saw over 7.5 million units sold in its first three months alone, with figures for its sales in Japan showing 1,890,273 units sold were from the PS4 version alone; and of those units sold, 652,614 were digital units.
The last major milestone the game passed sales wise was a whopping 10 million units sold, driving a year of record profits for publisher Capcom.
The title has also continued to see strong support from developer Capcom, with regular updates, DLC and cross-over events with other series to keep the gameplay fresh and enticing to new players.
