Circana’s February 2025 video game sales charts for the United States are in, and to no one’s surprise, Monster Hunter Wilds is on top. However, it’s also the best-selling game in the region year-to-date based on dollar sales, more than doubling launch month sales for Monster Hunter Rise, according to executive director and analyst Mat Piscatella on BlueSky.

If topping the PlayStation and Xbox charts wasn’t enough, it was also the best-selling PC title, with over half of total dollar sales coming from Steam. With over eight million copies sold in three days, the action RPG is Capcom’s fastest-selling game in history and seems on track to top Monster Hunter World’s record.

Other notable successes for the month include Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 in second place, whose launch month sales are over five times higher than its predecessor. Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 and PGA Tour 2K25 took third and fourth place, while Avowed and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii occupied seventh and eighth.
