Modern Warfare tops October PlayStation Store sales

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare claimed the top spot on the European and US PlayStation Store sales charts in October.

Fellow new entry Ghost Recon Breakpoint entered at No.4 in Europe and No.2 in the US, while The Outer Worlds debuted at No.7 and No.3 on the charts respectively.

Another new release, MediEvil, entered the European chart at No.9, but failed to make the top 20 in the US.

Meanwhile, Beat Saber topped the PlayStation VR chart in Europe and the US, while Fortnite dominated the free-to-play and DLC rankings.

Modern Warfare launched on October 25 and publisher Activision called it the fastest-selling Call of Duty game this console generation after three days of availability.

Generating $600 million worldwide in 72 hours, the game recorded the best digital launch in Activision’s history, as well the highest three-day PlayStation Network sales ever on PS4.

Despite being praised by many critics, the game has had something of a troubled launch, with developer Infinity Ward releasing two Call of Duty: Modern Warfare updates designed to reduce crashes on all platforms.
