Battlefield 6 Tops 2025 U.S. Sales as Circana Reports Call of Duty Drops to Fifth

Black Ops 7’s day-one release on Xbox Game Pass likely reduced paid dollar sales.

Overview

  • Circana’s year-end U.S. report confirms Battlefield 6 as 2025’s best-selling game, marking the first time the franchise outpaced Call of Duty for a full year.
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 led monthly charts in November and December but finished fifth for the year, its lowest annual U.S. placement since 2008.
  • Circana’s rankings track dollar sales and exclude Steam and Epic Games Store data, and Battlefield 6’s earlier October launch provided more time to accrue sales.
  • U.S. video game spending reached about $60.7 billion in 2025, growing roughly 1–1.4% with gains driven by mobile, hardware, and subscription services.
  • Nintendo Switch 2 was the top-selling U.S. console for 2025 with roughly 4.4 million units sold.
