These days, the gaming landscape isn’t just expanding with the sheer volume of new titles hitting the market. What’s truly noteworthy is how some of the most popular blockbusters manage to keep us hooked for long stretches of time, capturing both our attention and wallets even after their initial release. This trend isn’t limited to live-service multiplayer experiences either. Recent sales figures have highlighted this phenomenon, revealing that over a third of 2024’s top-selling games, such as Elden Ring, are actually titles from previous years. It’s a testament to their enduring appeal and the grip they maintain on the gaming community. – Ethan Gach
