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.
The next update for Dragon Ball: The Breakers, version 1.3.1.002, has now been released.

Adjustments were also made to the Survivors’ means of resistance while maintaining the power of Raider Ginyu Force’s characteristic tag-team playstyle.
The full patch notes for the Dragon Ball: The Breakers version 1.3.1.002 update are as follows:
