April 2026 saw top 20 games charts in Germany led by Electronic Arts’ soccer simulation EA Sports FC 26, which secured the number one spot with comfortable sales. Right behind it, Capcom’s new sci-fi action-adventure Pragmata made an impressive debut in second place, surprising many with its strong market entry.
Pragmata’s lunar adventure captivates gamers
Set on a deserted moon research station, Pragmata invites players to survive alongside a mysterious android girl. Its unique setting and immersive storytelling quickly resonated with players, driving high sales right out of the gate.
Starfield’s PS5 release fuels a chart comeback
Bethesda’s massive RPG Starfield reentered the top 20 directly at fifth place. This resurgence is attributed to its recent launch on PlayStation 5, broadening its audience and boosting sales significantly. Related coverage: GTA 6 Pre-Order Page Appears Online, Launch Details Leak.
Rockstar classics return to prominence
Rockstar Games’ enduring hits Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 also climbed the rankings, taking third and fourth places respectively. Their steady sales highlight the lasting appeal of Rockstar’s storytelling and open-world gameplay.
Relaxed life simulation from Nintendo joins the ranks
In sixth place, Nintendo introduced Tomodachi Life Living the Dream, a laid-back life simulation focusing on Mii characters forming social bonds on a virtual island. Despite Nintendo eShop sales usually being excluded from the data, this title’s strong physical and digital presence underscores its popularity.
Comprehensive sales data and notable titles
The rankings reflect mixed sales data from Germany, combining traditional physical game purchases with digital downloads from major platforms like Steam, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Store. Sales from Nintendo’s digital eShop generally aren’t included, making Nintendo’s representation on the list particularly noteworthy.
Other notable games rounding out the top 20 include Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 at seventh place, Electronic Arts’ cooperative action It Takes Two at eighth, and Microsoft’s evergreen Minecraft holding steady at tenth.
