In the gaming world, we’re not only seeing an explosion in the sheer number of titles popping up each year, but we’re also noticing how some of these big hits have a knack for capturing our attention and wallets over an extended period. This isn’t just true for those ever-evolving live-service multiplayer games. Recent sales figures highlight an intriguing trend: more than a third of the top-selling games in 2024, such as Elden Ring, were actually released a while back. It’s fascinating to see how these games maintain their grip, continuing to engross players long after their initial debut. – Ethan Gach
