Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Tops US Sales Charts, Gotham Knights in 2nd Place

Mat Piscatella, executive director of The NPD Group, revealed sales figures and data for hardware and software sales in the United States for October 2022. Video game content sales hit $3.7 billion, up two percent year over year, with console and PC content spending seeing percentage growth in the double digits.

It was driven by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which secured the top spot for the month. Hardly surprising, given that it crossed $1 billion in revenue within ten days of launching. Despite a mixed critical reception, Gotham Knights ranked in second place and debuted as the 14th best-selling game of the year-to-date. Interestingly, October’s top 20 best-sellers were new titles, including NHL 23 in fifth place, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope in the sixth, Bayonetta 3 in ninth, and Star Ocean: The Divine Force in 14th.

Even Dragon Ball: The Breakers secured a spot in 16th place, with Take Two’s PGA Tour 2K23 in 17th. For more details, check out the top 20 best-selling video games for October 2022, based on dollar sales, below.
