New data from GSD reveals the best-selling games in Europe for the first half of 2023. It includes physical games sold in major markets as well as digital data from most publishers – with Nintendo and indies being the main exceptions.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was the best-selling Switch title, landing at #4 overall. Again though, that’s without digital sales. The game sold 13 percent more copies than Pokemon Legends: Arceus did during the first half of last year – and that’s with Pokemon releasing in January.
