[QUOTE="Admin, post: 56827, member: 1"] Despite being free-to-play, MultiVersus was the highest-grossing game for July 2022 according to the latest NPD sales report. According to the data, the dollar sales were driven by sales of the game's Founder's Packs, which give players access to character tickets, in-game currency, and other cosmetic items. The success isn't necessarily a surprise, following [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/multiversus-enormous-beta-launch-steam-ps5-xbox']MultiVersus' enormous beta launch[/URL] that saw a peak of over 140,000 concurrent players.

The game reached #4 overall, trailing MultiVersus, Elden Ring, and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Live A Live, Square Enix's Switch-exclusive remake of the 1990s JRPG, debuted at #8 on the Nintendo Switch sales chart, failing to crack the top 20 overall.
