Star Wars Outlaws maintains its position as the most wishlisted game of 2024 among IGN users, despite ranking 17th in monthly additions for June. While Grand Theft Auto 6 remains the most wishlisted title overall, Star Wars Outlaws holds the second-highest number of wishlist additions over the past 12 months. These findings are derived from IGN Playlist, a digital platform that tracks user backlog and play activity, providing insights into consumer anticipation and engagement trends.
The June wishlist chart was heavily influenced by a series of high-profile game reveals, which pushed established titles down the monthly rankings. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom emerged as the most wishlisted game for the month, followed by Doom: The Dark Ages, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, Gears of War: E-Day, and Astro Bot. Notably, the new intellectual property Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 also secured a spot in the top ten for June, signaling strong interest in new titles following the industry's summer showcase events.
Beyond wishlist data, IGN Playlist provides broader metrics on player behavior. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt currently stands as the most backlogged game both for the month of June and historically, reflecting its enduring status in player libraries. In terms of completion rates, Red Dead Redemption 2 led the list for June, while Assassin's Creed Valhalla was identified as the most abandoned title among the platform's users. These metrics offer a comprehensive view of how players interact with their libraries, balancing long-term anticipation for upcoming releases with the completion of existing titles.
