What did the trick for the Japanese publisher this year? Digital, mobile and their online side did well, but they specifically called outDragon’s Dogma, which has now shipped1 million copies.

Game Pass is having its biggest month ever, and it’s all thanks to the return ofDonut County. The chill title is one of, if not the best, games about dropping stuff in holes. The month also starts the biggest Activision drop yet withCall of Duty: Black Ops 6and more. Supposedly, most folks care about the latter than the former. It’s their loss, to be frank.
