Top 10 best selling PS4 and Xbox One games of all time

Since the release of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 back in November 2013, some major gaming heavyweights have released new titles and additions to their legendary franchises such as Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption and Call of Duty. But what is the best selling game on each console?

Games have become a massive part of the entertainment industry, with the video games industry estimated to be worth around $135 billion at the end of 2018.

While free-to-play games like Fortnite Battle Royale and League of Legends continue to dominate the top of Twitch in terms of viewership, there is still huge appeal for AAA titles, with massive hype surrounding blockbuster 2018 releases like Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 and Marvel’s Spider-Man.

Rockstar leads the PlayStation 4 Top 10

For one developer to create both the first and second highest grossing titles on one console is an incredible feat, and that’s exactly what Rockstar Games have managed to do on the PS4.

Grand Theft Auto V, which released on both last-gen and current-gen consoles leads the way, with cowboy-adventure title Red Dead Redemption II steaming behind in second place. Activision’s first-person-shooter Call of Duty rounds off the top five with World War II, Black Ops 4 and Black Ops 3.
