BBG News

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve just gotten my hands on the latest report from Circana, a go-to source for gaming insights and data. This report offers an in-depth look at the American gaming market, consumer spending habits, and top-selling games over the recent period. The month of February 2025 was especially exciting with numerous game launches like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Civilization 7, Avowed, and Monster Hunter: Wilds, just to name a few. These titles were available on various platforms or even exclusively for one, making it a great time to be a gamer!

During the period from February 2nd to March 1st, 2025, six fresh titles managed to climb up the American list of top-selling video games for that month. Contrasting the sluggish gaming scene in January 2025, where Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 held the number one spot on the best-sellers chart, a new game from Capcom’s popular series took over this position in February.

Video game expert Mat Piscatella shared on Bluesky insights from the American gaming charts for February 2025, where the long-reigning Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was overthrown by Capcom’s Monster Hunter: Wilds. The action RPG received generally positive reviews and created a buzz through a sequence of beta testing sessions, with the final one taking place in February 2025, just weeks before its launch.

1) Capcom declared that Monster Hunter: Wilds swiftly sold more than 8 million units within three days of its launch, breaking their record for the quickest title to reach this milestone. Meanwhile, new games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Civilization 7, and PGA Tour 2K25 made their debut on the American gaming charts, securing the top four positions. NBA 2K25 maintained its momentum, moving past Black Ops 6 to claim the fifth spot.

For March, Obsidian Entertainment’s exclusive Xbox release, Avowed, and RGG Studio’s Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii are the last two new games hitting shelves, and their sales have secured them positions on the US sales charts. Some other notable mentions go to previously launched games like Grand Theft Auto 5, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Helldivers 2, Elden Ring, and Astro Bot, which were among the top-selling games in the US during February 2025.
