In today’s gaming landscape, one of the most significant trends isn’t just the sheer volume of new games hitting the market each year, but rather how enduringly captivating major blockbusters have become. These popular games manage to capture players’ time and wallets long after their initial release. This phenomenon isn’t limited to multiplayer live-service titles either. According to the latest sales data, a staggering one-third of the top-selling games in 2024, including classics like Elden Ring, are actually older releases. This shift highlights how some titles have a lasting impact, drawing gamers back again and again. – Ethan Gach
