According to industry analyst Mat Piscatella of Circana, Battlefield 6 was the best-selling premium game in the United States for October 2025. The title also secured the position of the year’s best-selling game so far, achieving the highest single-month sales revenue in three years. Pokémon Legends Z-A ranked second in October, though its reported sales figures do not include digital data from Nintendo.
The Nintendo Switch 2 remained the top-selling hardware platform, significantly outpacing the sales velocity of its predecessor. Other new releases in the top tiers included The Outer Worlds 2 and Little Nightmares III. Spending on ASUS PC portable hardware also saw a substantial increase following new product releases.
Overall video game sales for the period showed a three percent increase compared to the previous year. Industry observers are now watching to see if Battlefield 6 can maintain its lead over the newly released Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in the next monthly sales report.
