Fans have been reacting to this in the PS5 Subreddit.
One said: “GTA 5 number two in the EU, number three in the US / Canada. This game came out TWELVE years ago.”
Another commented: “To finally not see a new CoD as number one. Or even in the top five. Maybe there’s hope for humanity yet.”
“This list is almost impossible to break into,” declared a third. “That PS5 list has mayyybe five spots that are up for grabs each year. Everything else is locked down by the big sports games and the big shooters and GTA and the kids playing Minecraft. Being one of those five or so other games in the spots that don’t repeat every year is damn impressive.”
A fourth noted: “Looks like Assassin’s Creed Shadows was not THAT bad of a failure.”
And a fifth said: “Battlefront 2 still at the top even after EA left it to die, how beautiful.”
