Circana, the research group formerly known as NPD, has published its latest monthly US sales report, revealing which games have sold the best during the year so far. After August’s data is accounted for, EA’s College Football 25 remained 2024’s best-selling game so far.
CFB 25 was the first new entry in EA’s series in 10 years, dating back to NCAA Football 14 in 2013. There was a ton of built-up demand, and the results speak for themselves. The game continues to perform strong following its launch in July.
EA’s Madden NFL 25 is also doing big business, as it was the overall best-selling game for August 2024 in the US. It marked the 25th straight year that a new Madden NFL release was the best-selling game debut during its launch month.
Whether or not CFB 25 can hold onto the crown of best-selling game for 2024 so far for much longer is in question, as Activision’s massively anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launches on October 25. October’s US video game sales data won’t be available until late November, however, so it could be some time before we find out.
Helldivers II is 2024’s No. 2 best-selling game overall, followed by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, EA Sports MVP Bundle (which includes CFB 25 and Madden NFL 25), and Elden Ring.
