Helldivers 2’s launch on Xbox culminated in a “substantial uplift” in revenue according to Newzoo, ranking in fourth on the data firm’s overall revenue chart for August.
The game’s August 26 release, which included a collaboration with Halo, also drove engagement pushing the co-op shooter to No.13 on Newzoo’s overall player engagement chart. It ranked at No.11 on Xbox’s individual chart.
Another highlight was Battlefield 6, which debuted at No.3 on the engagement chart despite only being available for eight days during an early access period followed by two open beta periods. The first attracted over 520,000 players, becoming the series’ most played game on Steam.
As noted by Newzoo, these numbers are “an encouraging signal ahead of [the game’s] October 10 full release.”
Battlefield 2042 also saw an increase in player engagement, which “accelerated sharply” following the Battlefield 6 beta due to a content update and discount.
As a result, the game reached its highest level of monthly active users – even more than its launch month in 2021.
Elsewhere, 2K’s Mafia: The Old Country debuted at No.6 on the overall revenue charts, with two-thirds of sales generated on PlayStation.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater also made its way onto the Top 20 despite launching at the end of the month.
Here are the Top 20 games by revenue in the US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy for August 2025, across PC and consoles, according to Newzoo:
