Moving to a slightly more positive note, preliminary pre-order data seems to be decent. As I understand it, the rankings are based on revenue rather than number of copies. Pre-orders opened yesterday at the same time for all the games listed below, so they are quite comparable—at least among those in the same release window.
| Game | Release date | Base edition, $ | Steam Wishlist | Top selling, Steam | Top selling, PS Store, US PS5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marvel’s Wolverine | 15.9.2026 | 69.99 | N/A | N/A | 9 |
| Control Resonant | 24.9.2026 | 59.99 | 40 | 33 | 54 |
| Silent Hill: Townfall | 24.9.2026 | 49.99 | 189 | 121 | 134 |
| Onimusha: Way of the Sword | 25.9.2026 | 69.99 | 25 | 31 | 97 |
| Ace Combat 8 | 2.10.2026 | 69.99 | 55 | 10 | 47 |
| Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis | 12.2.2027 | 59.99 | 27 | 61 | 77 |
Let’s see how these evolve. More marketing is likely expected at Summer Games Fest in 3 days. The rankings might not be very accurate yet, as it’s only been 12 hours since pre-orders opened. Ace Combat 8 is pre-selling surprisingly strongly, while Silent Hill, even though it’s a spinoff, is doing surprisingly poorly.
