SuperData Arcade has shared its monthly report, stating that Monster Hunter World has shared 2 million copies on the PC. According to the report, Monster Hunter World took first place in this month’s top grossing Premium PC rankings, knocking PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds down to second.
Moreover, World of Warcraft made $161M in August following the release of its “Battle of Azeroth” expansion, not including all pre-sales in the months leading up to launch. Subscribers for WoW West also hit its highest point since 2014.
On the other hand, League of Legends seems to be heading towards its worst performing year since 2014 as its revenue is down 21% compared to the same time period in 2017.
Here are the key notes of SuperData Arcade’s report:
- Madden 19 sets new franchise launch record. We estimate Madden 19 sold 664K digital units on console. This easily made it the best ever launch month for the franchise, though sales benefitted from an earlier release date this year.
- League of Legends heads towards its worst performing year since 2014. League of Legends revenue is down 21% compared to the same time period in 2017.
- Blizzard hits a home run with World of Warcraft expansion. World of Warcraft made $161M in August following the release of its “Battle of Azeroth” expansion, not including all pre-sales in the months leading up to launch. Subscribers for WoW West hit its highest point since 2014.
- Monster Hunter World sells 2M units on PC. Capcom’s action game had a successful launch on console earlier this year, and the PC version looks to be doing even better. Monster Hunter World took first place in this month’s top grossing Premium PC rankings, knocking PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds down to second.
And here are the world’s most popular digital games across PC, console and mobile for August 2018.

Maybe because of Youtubers who play GTA Online.
because they get banned for hacking
So much trash on a single infographic
Real shame this is what the hobby and the industry have turned into.
cry more singleplayer gamer. The future of gaming is esports.
I know you are trolling, but just in case there’s someone who thinks like that: Only few games at a time can succeed in esports. Which means that esports is not the future. The future is the same as always. All kinds of games, at all times.
“Have turned into” It’s always been like this. Few trash games making tons and tons of money.
You’re young, aren’t you? 😀
You’re dumb, aren’t you? XO
“It’s always been like this”
No, it was not
Yes it was.
No it really is not. Some time ago gaming was a refuge for people seeking stories and adventures away from the world, so the people who played games had a connection. Now the entire world is “gaming”. But that doesn’t mean that which we liked disappeared, it just means that there is more to it.
We gamers never had it easy, don’t expect it to change. We are better today than ever. Just look at all the wonderful games we got. Don’t expect people to follow our taste, just let them have these games and enjoy what you like. We’re good, I know I am.
Denuvo works!!!
hahahahahahahaha…….you serious?
2 million in sales! Can’t you see that? You really think it would have sold 2 million without denuvo? I dony think so?
You think the first Monster Hunter game on PC wouldn’t sell 2 million units?
GTA5 sold close to 10 million units on PC already…..thanks to Denuvo?
Games with high expectations sell no matter what.
10 million on steam, add the rockstar social only copies too and i think is close to 15 million.
At the least, yeah. Not bad for an early cracked game.
he meant that DRMs work in general and you just confirmed him yourself.
By talking about GTA5 which was cracked immediately? Confirmed? Are you trolling or just stupid?
gta5 wasn’t cracked in couple of days or a week or two. is your iq too low to comment without knowing what you’re talking about? yes your iq is that low, i just proved the fact that your iq is low so now it’s a fact.
Oh….a troll, ok….
if you’re going to be a pirate at least know your shet dumbfk
You’re a good “shet dumbfk”, but a bad troll.
“You really think it would have sold 2 million without denuvo? ”
Yes it would. You’re an idiot if you think it won’t.
So many dissapointed ppl
You love it…. you wonderful troll 😀
