Battlefield 6 is undoubtedly a big success, as new Circana data reveals it has stomped all over the US October sales charts.
Matt Piscatella of Circana shared the data which revealed Battlefield 6 on the top spot. In fact, it’s not just October’s best-selling game, it’s currently the best-selling game of the entire year. Of course, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 just landed (possibly on its face, based on early player data) but it has missed out on the October sales list.

Second place goes to Pokemon Legends Z-A. It’s actually possible it beat out Battlefield 6, because as the Circana chart shows, digital sales are not included. In other words, that 2nd place was earned through physical sales only.
In fact, according to Piscatella, Pokemon Legends Z-A, “launched as 2025’s best-selling physical game year-to-date.”
The success of Pokemon pushed Ghost of Yotei down to 3rd place for the month. Currently, Ghost of Yotei is actually the best-selling platform exclusive of the year, but that’ll probably get taken away by Pokemon.
The Outer Worlds 2 – which I’m having a great time with – debuted in 7th place. It’s hard to tell exactly how well the game is doing since it’s available on Game Pass.
Helldivers 2‘s boost from Xbox sales seems to be slowing down now, dropping it from 6th in September to 18th in October.
