The gaming world saw some intense competition in October 2025 with the release of two major titles. As the dust settles, reports have unveiled the top-performing games for the month, showcasing an exciting battle for supremacy in the digital sales arena.
Top Sellers of October 2025
In October 2025, Battlefield 6 and Pokémon Legends Z-A dominated the US video game sales charts. Securing first place, Battlefield 6 surpassed expectations, while Pokémon Legends Z-A claimed the second spot. It should be noted that Nintendo does not disclose its digital sales data to analytics firms, which means Pokémon Legends Z-A’s ranking is based solely on physical sales—outperforming numerous titles, including new releases and stalwarts like EA Sports FC 26 and NBA 2K26. Battlefield 6 emerged as the best-selling premium game in the US for October 2025, leading in both physical and digital sales.
Battlefield 6’s Unprecedented Success
Battlefield 6 not only topped the October charts but also achieved the title of the best-selling game in the US for the entire year of 2025 up to that point. According to industry analysts, Battlefield 6 achieved the highest monthly sales for a game in three years, a record previously held by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II in October 2022. As November approaches, Battlefield 6 aims to maintain its lead against Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, a rivalry eagerly anticipated by gaming enthusiasts.
Console and Hardware Trends
On the hardware front, the Nintendo Switch 2 continues its reign as the best-selling console, significantly outpacing sales of its predecessor and even surpassing the PlayStation 4’s historical launch figures. Meanwhile, ASUS’s portable PC hardware experienced a significant sales surge, largely driven by the release of the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X. October 2025 marked a 3% growth in video game sales over the previous year, setting the stage for an exciting confrontation between Call of Duty and Battlefield to determine November’s top seller.
