Battlefield 6, the first-person shooter from Electronic Arts publisher EA, has emerged as the best-selling game in the US for 2025, according to new market data.
Released on October 10 for PC and current-generation PlayStation and Xbox consoles, the game had the biggest launch in franchise history and marked Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment’s (DICE) 23rd anniversary.
Circana, the leading market research firm, ranked Battlefield 6 No. 1 on its 2025 US best-sellers chart based on dollar revenue. The title outperformed strong competition from Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Ghost of Yotei, finishing in second and third place, respectively.
Circana's figures combine physical and digital sales, demonstrating especially high consumer demand for Battlefield 6.

Battlefield 6 sold more than 7 million copies in its first three days, beating the week-one totals of previous Battlefield instalments.
By comparison, it took Battlefield 5 two months to sell as many copies, while Battlefield 6’s October revenue already outstrips the lifetime sales of Battlefield 1, the series’ previous best-seller.
Circana data also supports the fact that the best-selling games of 2025 are all established franchises, with no original IPs in the yearly top 10 thus far.
