According to video game industry consultant Mat Piscatella, the Grounded game made a huge jump in sales charts in April. From being in 167th place in March, surrounded by giant ants in the backyard, it shot up to an impressive 12th place. The main reason for this was the game's release on the PlayStation platform.
The numbers are even more impressive when you realize that the game isn’t free! In April, Grounded became the ninth best-selling game on PlayStation, showing everyone the power of a good fan base. Of course, the PlayStation platform also played a major role in this success.
Being available on PlayStation can be a game-changer for many games. It’s a popular platform with millions of players, which gives older or lesser-known games a new chance to shine. The popularity spikes for niche games like Grounded are rarely this big, even when they’re part of the PlayStation+ subscription offering.
