Plus Fall Guys, Diablo 4, and World of Warcraft saw the biggest gains in terms of MAUs
Black Myth Wukong was the top-grossing game across the six markets analysed by Newzoo in August.
It also topped the PC chart that month and was the third-biggest on PlayStation, second only to Fortnite and EA Sports Madden NFL 25.
The First Descendant faired less well, experiencing a "relatively steep revenue decline" from June to August.
Fall Guys, Diablo 4, and World of Warcraft saw the biggest gains in terms of monthly active users (14, 16, and 20, respectively), whilst Escape from Tarkov moved up nine ranks courtesy of a month that's given it its most substantial MAU increase all year.
Furthermore, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga got a" substantial engagement boost thanks to its inclusion in PlayStation Plus in August," and the 75% discount on the Nintendo Switch Store at the tail end of August.
The top Switch titles chiefly remained static in August 2024.
