FIFA 22

It’s no great secret that EA Games’ FIFA franchise is among the best-selling of all time. And in Europe, where football (soccer) reigns king as the most popular sport by far, FIFA has found incredible success amongst video game players across all platforms.

The figures only account for physical game sales, as is typical of GFK’s tracking, but that still offers a large sample size that indicates the shape of the market and its leaders — of which FIFA 22 is right at the forefront, with Nintendo franchises Mario Kart and Bowser’s Fury just behind.
