Unsurprisingly, the top spot is the soccer game FIFA 21, which has topped the sales charts in numerous countries since its release last year. Directly behind it is the also very successful life simulation Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which is available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. Third and thus last place on the podium was taken by the fun racer Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - also for the Nintendo Switch. The action adventure Assassin's Creed Odyssey can be found at the lower end of the top 20.

According to the association, the games industry and gaming itself played an important role during the corona pandemic last year:

"Corona pandemic, lockdowns, contact restrictions - 2020 is also leaving its mark on the games world. Games have helped many people get through time better. Above all, the opportunity to continue with friends and family in Staying in contact and having fun together was used a million times over. Computer and video games with an online multiplayer mode were particularly popular. "
