The official game charts show the best-selling PC and console games in Germany. They include cross-platform sales on physical media and digital downloads. The data is collected by Games Sales Data (GSD) - a platform created by Video Games Europe to measure sales data for video games. The charts therefore offer an overview of the most successful games in Germany in any given month.

In Deutschland werden neben Verkäufen bei Einzelhändlern auch Verkäufe von digitalen Verkaufsplattformen wie dem Nintendo eShop, PSN, dem Xbox Store oder Steam von Publishern an GSD übermittelt. Digitale Verkäufe von Nintendo-Titeln aus dem Nintendo eShop sind nicht enthalten.
