In the premium division of the games with the most gross revenue, two titles from last year stand out, Baldur's Gate III and Elden Ring, which has possibly benefited from the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion release, as well as four 2024 releases including Black Ops 6, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II, Palworld and the multiplayer Helldivers II. The rest of the titles in this category are free-to-play: PUBG: Battleground, DOTA 2, Apex Legends, Counter Strike 2 and a surprising Destiny 2, which despite not going through its best moment is still one of the games that generates the most money.
On another level are titles like Path of Exile II, which went on sale just over two weeks ago, the veteran Cyberpunk 2077, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, the last two installments of EA Sports FC, Enshrouded, which is still in early access and the free-to-play Naraka, The First Descendant, Warframe, Throne and Liberty y War Thunder.
If we stick to new releases and leave aside the titles already mentioned, the games that have generated the most revenue this year must be added Manor Lords, Dragon's Dogma 2, NBA 2K25 and STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl. One level below we have Ghost of Tsushima, Last Epoch, Tekken 8, Hades II, Farming Simulator 25, Dragon Age: The Veilguard or the free-to-play Marvel Rivals.
