New data provides us with a look at the best-selling games of 2023 in Germany.

Before getting into the results, there are a couple of things to point out here. Nintendo doesn’t share eShop data, so digital isn’t really accounted for here and some companies – namely Epic and Larian – are not participating in Games Sales Data (GSD).

The full list of Germany’s best-selling games of 2023 can be found below.

New GSD data has revealed the best-selling games of 2023 in the UK.

EA Sports FC 24 took the top spot followed by Hogwarts Legacy in second place. In terms of Nintendo-published games, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is at #9 with Super Mario Bros. Wonder at #11. Keep in mind that Nintendo’s placements are only based on physical sales as the company does not provide digital data, so its games could have reached higher with that information.

Hogwarts Legacy sales

According to Warner Bros. Games, Hogwarts Legacy sales have surpassed 22 million copies worldwide.

It’s unclear how many of those sales are from Switch – especially given how that version launched at the end of 2023. However, based on recent eShop charts, U.S. data from Circana, and more, it seems to be doing very well on the platform.

Regarding the sales success for Hogwarts Legacy, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad told Variety:

Thanks to GamesIndustry, we have new insight into the UK gaming market for December 2023.

The outlet points out that Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Hogwarts Legacy did very well, with both seeing a big month-on-month increase. In fact, Mario saw its best month since it released in October.

Dave the Diver sales

Today, Mintrocket announced that Dave the Diver has sold over three million copies. That milestone accounts for both the Switch and PC versions combined worldwide.

Dave the Diver originally released in October 2022. The Switch version just followed the following October, so it’s only been available for a few months.

The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending December 30, 2023 is now available.

Hogwarts Legacy took home the top spot and was the best-selling physical game of the year. This is the first time in a decade that EA’s soccer / football title isn’t #1.
