EA Sports FC 26 is the best-selling game in Europe in 2026 through June, according to a report from GfK Entertainment.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is the second best-selling game so far in 2026, followed by Resident Evil Requiem in third place.

"Spain may have just claimed the FIFA World Cup title, but there is also a clear winner in Europe’s video game market for the first half of 2026: EA Sports FC 26," reads the report.

"According to GfK Entertainment’s representative cross-platform mid-year games sales charts, Electronic Arts’ football simulation was Europe’s best-selling video game between January and June. The title not only secured the overall No. 1 spot, but also topped the charts in 13 of the 17 countries analysed, including Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and Spain.

"Nintendo’s life simulation Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream ranked second across Europe, delivering particularly strong performances in France, where it reached No. 1, as well as in Spain (No. 2) and Belgium (No. 3). Meanwhile, Resident Evil Requiem by Capcom took third place in the overall European ranking. The ninth instalment of the long-running survival horror franchise emerged as the UK’s best-selling game of the first six months and also achieved runner-up positions in Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary."

We all expected Tomodachi to be a huge hit in Japan. I personally did not expect it to be this huge in Europe.

I was around for the 3DS one and it was always pretty popular in that console, a lot of people love it and remember it fondly. That and it's an incredibly easy gift for younger relatives to have fun with the family

It is fascinating how different the markets in Europe are. UK looks like the US, while France is the Nintendo's stronghold in it.

And they all love football and EAFC.
