10Ring Fit Adventure
Nintendo continues to supportAnimal Crossingwith monthly updates, with the most recent updatebringing backAnimal Crossing’spopular Bug-Off eventon the third Saturday of every month through September.
It should come as no surprise that bothGrand Theft Auto 5andMinecraftalso remain in the top 10. Both titles have had incredible lifetime sales spanning multiple generations. In addition,Ring Fit Adventurehas seen an increase in popularity, as major lock-downs are limiting outdoor activities all over the world. The game has become so popular that quantities are severely limited withonline shops quickly selling out ofRing Fitas soon as a restock comes in.
