Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the best-selling game of the year in the U.S. That update comes via Circana executive director and analyst Mat Piscatella, who shared a thread on Thursday, diving into video game software and hardware sales for the month of December 2024. It's a return to form for Call of Duty, which was displaced in 2023 by WB Games' Hogwarts Legacy. Just like in November and October, Black Ops 6 was naturally the best-selling title of the month.
The month of December was mostly stacked with existing games, and only one new title broke into the top 20 games sold, Bethesda Softworks' Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which debuted at #14 for the month overall.
