A new report from Sensor Tower dives deep into 2025 videogame sales and reveals some fascinating data about a historic year.

“Battlefield 6 is the best-selling PC/console game of 2025, in a market with titans like Call of Duty and Fortnite and a year with other massive launches like Delta Force and Marvel Rivals,” the report notes. “The number two and three best-selling PC/Console games of 2025, R.E.P.O. and PEAK, outsold AAA titles with huge budgets and audiences. GTA 6 will be the culmination of this trend.”
