Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order set a franchise record for the best-selling console digital launch. It outsold 2017's Star Wars Battlefront II by more than two to one, selling 2.14 million digital units in November. 

Red Dead Redemption 2 on Windows PC launched on the Epic Games Store a month before it released on Steam. The game sold just 408,000 digital units on Epic Games Store in its first month.
