Battlefield 6 smashed Call of Duty Black Ops 7, becoming the US’ best-selling game of 2025

Below is a list of the best-selling video games in the USA. This date includes both retail and digital sales data. However, console/game bundles are not included in this data.

UK Physical Sales charts tell a different story
In the UK, the industry’s best-selling games data tells a different story. However, it is worth noting that this data only accounts for retail sales. Digital game sales are not present. That means that games sold on physical formats (like Switch/Switch 2 games) are favoured, and games that are sold digitally (like most PC games) are not accounted for. This explains why Switch 2 games like Mario Kart World, Pokemon Legends Z-A, and Donkey Kong Bananza are in this list.

- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

While this data does not account for all possible game sales, it clearly shows that Battlefield 6 beat Call of Duty Black Ops 7. It’s also notable that games like Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 are not in either list. Furthermore, it’s notable how Nintendo dominates the list when analysts only count retail sales.
