Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Tops 2026 Console Revenue Charts, as Live-Service Giants Hold Their Ground

Newzoo has released its April 2026 PC and console rankings, following engagement and revenue across major gaming markets. One of the highlights is that Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream became the top new release by revenue in 2026 so far, driven by Nintendo's large existing install base.

Console MAU rankings saw no movement month-over-month, and PC engagement remained concentrated around long-established titles, such as Counter-Strike 2, Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite, and League of Legends. According to Newzoo, this reflects how difficult it is for newer titles to break into a market where player routines, progression systems, and social networks are already firmly established around mature live-service ecosystems.

Among other notable movements, Diablo IV climbed 11 positions in the PC revenue rankings following the launch of its Lord of Hatred expansion and new endgame systems. NBA 2K26 maintained strong console engagement after joining Game Pass, demonstrating how subscription availability can extend the life of annualized franchises. Survival-crafting title Windrose also debuted strongly on PC, while action-adventure PRAGMATA made a strong early showing.
