Starfield for PS5 reached the podium in Japan

The past few months in Japan have revolved around the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, and recent reports show strong player interest. During such periods, attention is focused not only on the platform itself, but also on game sales.

This is confirmed by Famitsu's new sales ranking for Japan. The list for the past week shows which games are currently the most popular:

Game sales in Japan — 06.04–12.04

1. [NS2] Pokemon Pokopia — 23,738 (total: 890,909)
2. [NS2] Mario Kart World — 7238 (total: 2,895,712)
3. [PS5] Starfield — 5368
4. [NS] Minecraft — 4094 (total: 4,186,601)
5. [NS] Animal Crossing: New Horizons — 3831 (total: 8,419,664)
6. [NS2] Animal Crossing: New Horizons — Nintendo Switch 2 Edition — 3064 (total: 101,850)
7. [NS] Pokemon FireRed / LeafGreen (Download Card) — 2757 (total: 18,049)
8. [NS] Super Smash Bros. Ultimate — 2436 (total: 5,899,833)
9. [NS2] Mario Tennis Fever — 2429 (total: 101,590)
10. [PS5] Crimson Desert — 2408 (total: 42,593)

Starfield's result stood out separately. The PS5 version immediately took third place — until recently, such a scenario seemed unlikely. But Bethesda's game managed to attract the attention of the Japanese audience and secure a spot at the top.
