Wow! Insomniac Games is making bank for Sony this generation so far. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, despite releasing exclusively on the supply constrained PlayStation 5, topped the US software charts in June – rounding out a great month for PlayStation. MLB The Show 21 held strong in fourth position, while Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales climbed a few spots, into ninth place.
Stock issues meant that the PS5 had to make way for the Nintendo Switch in hardware unit sales and Xbox Series X|S in hardware dollar sales, but all major platforms enjoyed double or triple dollar sales growth year-over-year, with overall industry spend up five per cent compared to June 2024. PS5 also remains the fastest-selling system ever in the US when it comes to hardware units.
As for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, the sequel secured the “highest launch month dollar sales of any title in franchise history”, and more than doubled those set by its predecessor in 2016 – although it’s worth noting that the movie tie-in carried a reduced $40 price point, while Rift Apart retailed at Sony’s new $70 tier.
Scarlet Nexus also did incredibly well for itself, debuting in fifth position – another quiet success story for Bandai Namco following the likes of Code Vein. Last month’s frontrunner, Resident Evil Village dropped a fair few places into sixth position, while Final Fantasy VII Remake enjoyed a significant boost in sales following its release on the PS5. All of the relevant data is included below.
