New data from Europe has revealed that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was the best-selling game of May. Nintendo’s exclusive sold 2.5x the second placed title, Hogwarts Legacy.
Tears of the Kingdom is the third best-selling game of the year across Europe after just three weeks, with FIFA 23 and Hogwarts Legacy only doing more – for now. If we’re strictly looking at physical since Nintendo doesn’t report digital sales, Zelda is indeed already the top game in Europe.

Publisher Devolver Digital and developer No Brakes Games today unveiled Human Fall Flat 2, a sequel to the successful puzzle platformer. A release window and platforms were not announced.
Human Fall Flat 2 is confirmed to be appearing on “consoles”. We’re typically hesitant to report on announcements when Switch isn’t specifically mentioned, but it stands to reason that this title will end up there. The original has seen a great deal of success on Nintendo’s system.
