According to the 2026 Game Industry Status Report released by Sensor Tower on Wednesday, the upcoming privatization of game distributors and developers, EA, became the most downloader of PC and host platform games this year, with a total sales of over 200 million copies. In addition, the ECA, which is scheduled to complete the $55 billion privatization deal later this year, has also secured three of the annual best-selling seats for the 3-A game: Field 6, EA Reports FC 25 and EA Reports FC 26.
The Sensor Tower data show that Microsoft ranks second in the issuer’s download list, followed by Take-Two Entertainment, Nubella and Sony. In 2025, the predominance of Field 6 has been particularly prominent in new shooting games such as Mission Call, Fort Night, as well as Delta Operation Manning. However, despite the strong performance, the overall download of shooting-type games has not increased, and this data indicates that new efforts are more splitting existing market shares than actually expanding the size of the class. The data show that the retention, interaction and realization of existing players will be “more critical than ever”.
In the separate statistics of the mainframe platform, Fort Night continues to be dominated by the largest player base, followed by the Anti-Terrorism Elite 2 (although it should be the Steam exclusive). Among the active users of Fortress Night, PlayStation is slightly over 20 million and Xbox is about 15 million. The report shows that the volume of the PC game has reached an annual record; that the buyout of the game showed a remarkable performance, that in 2025, the second and three PC/host game sales, R.E.P.O. and PEAK, exceeded part of the 3As in terms of audience size, income and number of releases; and that YouTube’s viewing of the game content on the PC/host platform decreased over time, but increased at the mobile end, indicating an upward trend in the social experience category.
