For All the Talk About Crimson Desert, Nothing Beats MLB The Show on the US PS5 Chart 1

It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to learn that Crimson Desert was one of the best-selling games on the PS Store for the month of March.

The open world action game has been the talk of the town ever since its launch, and overall it’s been selling like mad; it’s over 4 million copies at this point.

However, what we hadn’t really considered is that March also saw the arrival of MLB The Show 26, and it’s pipped Crimson Desert to the post — in North America, at least.

The baseball sim is number one, with Pearl Abyss’ runaway hit settling for second.

On the European chart, it’s a different story; Crimson Desert is numero uno, with MLB nowhere to be seen in the top 20.

Resident Evil Requiem puts in a good effort, coming in third on both charts.

Meanwhile, Bungie’s new multiplayer shooter Marathon doesn’t have the hottest debut; it’s sixth in the US and 11th in Europe.
