Elden Ring Was the Best-Selling Game of June 2024, Kingdom Hearts Collection Jumps From #399 to #3

Alongside Elden Ring becoming the best-selling game of June 2024 thanks to its Shadow of Erdtree expansion, Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece’s arrival on Steam launched it from #399 to #3 month over month.

As reported by Circana’s Mat Piscatella, Elden Ring has returned to the top of a monthly best-selling list for the first time since May 2022, and, as we mentioned, that was due to the huge success of Shadow of the Erdtree. For some context, Shadow of the Erdtree sold a massive five million copies in just its first three days on the market.

As for Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece, its astonishing jump was because it was only available on Nintendo Switch via Cloud before it came to Steam in June. For those unfamiliar, this collection includes Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, and Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind DLC.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance led the way for new games in June, as it managed to reach fourth place in its first month. Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD also performed admirably by cracking the top 10 and placing eighth.

We also want to shout out The Elder Scrolls: Online, as it jumped from #198 to #18 this month thanks to the launch of The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road, and Street Fighter 6, as it jumped from #72 to #20 thanks to promotional pricing.
