Battlefield 6 Is Already Toppling Some Recent Call Of Duty Records

"It only took Battlefield 6 one month to become the top-grossing game released so far this year in the U.S. But that doesn't even tell the whole story of how well the multiplayer shooter franchise's return to form has gone. It's also the best-selling game in any single month in the last three years, meaning it sold even better than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 did when it debuted in 2023."

""Battlefield 6 produced the highest single month US physical & digital full game tracked dollar sales total in 3 years," Circana director of game research Mat Piscatella announced on Bluesky today. "The last title to generate a larger full game tracked dollar sales total in a single month was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II in October 2022." EA previously confirmed that Battlefield 6 had sold over 7 million copies shortly after launch."

"Microsoft recently hiked the price of Game Pass to $30 a month, incentivizing more players to pay outright for this year's Call of Duty rather than rent it through the subscription service. Still, The Game Business reports that In the UK at least, physical launch sales for Black Ops 7 are down 61 percent over last year's entry. It also notes that this fall is extra competitive in the shooter space"

Battlefield 6 reached top-grossing status in the U.S. one month after launch and achieved the highest single-month tracked dollar sales for a full game in three years, surpassing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's debut. Circana reported the single-month milestone and identified Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II in October 2022 as the last larger total. EA confirmed more than 7 million copies sold shortly after launch. Battlefield 6 led October 2025 sales and rose to the year's best-seller, passing NBA 2K26, Monster Hunter Wilds, Borderlands 4, and EA Sports College Football 26. The renewed Battlefield/Call of Duty rivalry intensified amid weaker concurrent Steam numbers for Black Ops 7. Microsoft raised Game Pass to $30, encouraging outright purchases, while UK physical launch sales for Black Ops 7 fell 61 percent, and the fall season is especially competitive among shooters.
