Battlefield 6 Is Officially 2025’s Best-Selling Game (So Far)
The “Battlefield is dead” meme can take the rest of the year off. Market research firm Circana’s latest October 2025 report shows Battlefield 6 is now the best-selling game of 2025 in the U.S. year-to-date by dollar sales, jumping straight to number one after just a few weeks on shelves.
It is not just topping shooter charts, either. EA has begun calling it the best-selling shooter of 2025, while Circana’s numbers confirm it currently leads the overall 2025 game sales list in the U.S., ahead of heavy hitters like NBA 2K26 and Monster Hunter Wilds.
For a series coming off the rocky Battlefield 2042 era, that is a ridiculous turnaround.
Circana’s Data Confirms A Monster Launch
Here is what the latest sales snapshot looks like:
- Best-selling game of 2025 year-to-date in the U.S. by dollar sales
- Top seller on Xbox and PC storefronts, and second on PlayStation behind NBA 2K26
- Biggest single-month launch in three years, with only 2022’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 having a stronger first month this generation
- Fastest-selling Battlefield ever, smashing past previous franchise records within its opening weeks
Circana’s senior director Mat Piscatella shared the chart breakdown on social media, and multiple outlets have since echoed the same headline: Battlefield 6 is currently 2025’s best-selling game in the U.S.
Globally, EA has already reported over seven million copies in the first three days, calling it the biggest launch in Battlefield history.

What It Means If You Have Not Bought Battlefield 6 Yet
Right now, Battlefield 6 sits in that rare spot where:
- The player base is massive, so finding full lobbies is easy
- EA is highly motivated to support it as a long-term live service pillar
- The game already wears the badge of “biggest launch in franchise history”, so it will be the main Battlefield focus for years
If you have been waiting to see whether Battlefield was “worth coming back to,” the sales charts just answered that for you.
