by Crash Bandicoot Trilogy almost makes it into the top ten most popular Xbox games
It’s a pretty static picture at the top of our Xbox gameplay charts – Call of Duty remains firmly at the top, while Fortnite, Minecraft, Rainbow Six Siege and Rocket League battle for new spots in the top ten. Interestingly, the latest big free-to-play sensation, Valorant, which debuted at number 8 on our chart last week, has slipped a couple of places to number 10.
Outside of the top ten, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy makes an impressive debut in the Xbox Gameplay Charts, coming in at 11th place, which is of course due to the fact that the remastered game collection finally appeared on Xbox Game Pass last week.
In the middle of the table, Diablo IV rose from 24th place last week to 18th place thanks to the release of Season 5: Infernal Hordes. The new Xbox Game Pass release Doom + Doom II also had a successful launch, with the new enhanced versions of the two first-person shooters coming in at 25th place.
At the bottom, 7 Days to Die continues its ascent up the chart, gaining two more spots and moving up to number 31. We also see XDefiant remain firmly in 39th place, while Xbox Game Pass sensation Palworld maintains the 40th spot.
As for next week’s charts, it’s hard to say what might emerge from our list of new Xbox games. Perhaps the Xbox Series X|S release of Hunt: Showdown 1896 will make it into the top 40? Perhaps Mafia: Definitive Edition which is coming to Xbox Game Pass soon will also make an appearance? With Gamescom around the corner the week ahead is pretty quiet in terms of big notable releases so anything could happen
