Circana, the company formerly known as NPD, has released its latest monthly report for video game sales in the United States. In April 2023, total spending dropped, but hardware jumped. In terms of game sales, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was the No. 1 best-selling game, and the Nintendo Switch was the top-performing console of the month for unit sales.
Jedi: Survivor immediately blasted up the charts to become the No. 4 best-selling game of 2023. It released on April 28 and had only two days accounted for, and even so, it was the No. 1 best-selling game of April 2023 in the US.
Dead Island 2 was April’s No. 2 best-selling game, with MLB The Show 23 (which is also on Game Pass), Resident Evil 4, and Call of Duty Modern Warfare II rounding out the top five on the monthly sales chart.
