The gaming landscape is evolving at a breathtaking pace, not only because of the sheer volume of games entering the market each year but also due to the staying power of major hit titles. These blockbuster games are not just fleeting novelties; they’re captivating players’ wallets and attention long after their initial release dates. Fascinatingly, this trend isn’t limited to live-service multiplayer games. Recent sales figures reveal that among the top-selling games of 2024, over a third are titles like “Elden Ring,” which have been around for a while. It’s a testament to how certain games can carve out a lasting presence in the gaming community. – Ethan Gach
