EA Sports Madden NFL 27, Big Walk, Star Wars Zero Company, and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam among the titles in the Top 20

Several new releases entered Newzoo's Top 20 revenue charts in August, with EA Sports Madden NFL 27 debuting at No. 2 on console and House House's co-op title Big Walk ranking No. 3 on PC.

Respawn Entertainment's Star Wars Zero Company launched at No. 6 on PC and No. 20 on console. Other notable debuts include Mortal Shell 2 and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam on both platforms.

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls entered at No. 14 on console. On PC, Dazed Games' How to Fish debuted at No. 9, and Torn Banner Studios' No More Room in Hell 2 ranked No. 19.

On the console charts, Pokémon Pokopia climbed 21 spots from No. 28 to No. 7 after the release of its Bubbly Basin DLC, the first of three planned paid content updates.

Newzoo market analyst Mert Şahin noted that EA Sports Madden NFL 27 "benefited from the strength of a long-running annual franchise, while Star Wars Zero Company combined the visibility of a globally recognised IP with strong reviews and positive word-of-mouth."

In contrast, Newzoo's monthly active user (MAU) rankings indicate that collaborations, cross-media tie-ins, and subscription services expanded audiences beyond traditional game updates.

Fortnite rose to No. 3 in PC MAU rankings and maintained its No. 1 position on console. The launch of Chapter 7 Season 4: Override contributed to this growth by adding content from major franchises such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Man, and Kingdom Hearts. Şahin notes this supports Epic's strategy "of combining live-service development with high-profile gaming and entertainment partnerships."

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 climbed 12 places to No. 12 in console MAU rankings ahead of the Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiere. A free movie-inspired suit update and a limited-time discount "provided additional incentives for players to return, demonstrating how major entertainment releases can bring players back to games tied to the same franchise."

Helldivers 2 jumped 30 places on console and 14 on PC to reach No. 19 on both platforms, driven by its addition to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium catalogues. It also rose from No. 50 to No. 18 on the PC revenue charts.
