Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has made quite a splash, emerging as the best-selling game of 2024 in the United States. Announced on January 23 by Circana’s Mat Piscatella, this news will stir up conversations among gamers and industry analysts.
What’s fascinating here is that Black Ops 6, which launched at the end of October, swiftly claimed the top position that had been occupied by EA Sports College Football 25 since its release back in December. Activision’s latest addition swept through the charts in just over two months. Talk about making an entrance!
Following closely behind are some familiar names. College Football 25 now sits at number two, with Helldivers 2 holding third place. Rounding out the top five is Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero and NBA 2K25. It’s interesting to see sports games dominating; there are no surprises here if you’ve been watching trends.
The broader list reveals a remarkable trend: seven out of the top 20 best-selling games were not released in 2024. Classics like Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto V, over a decade old, continue to hold their ground impressively within these rankings.
