This is a list of video games that have sold the highest number of software units worldwide. The best-selling video game to date is Minecraft, a sandbox game released by Mojang in November 2011 for a wide range of PC, mobile and console platforms, selling more than 300 million copies across all platforms. Grand Theft Auto V and EA's Tetris are ...

Dying Light 2 is the follow-up to 2015's Dying Light. This time around, the zombie outbreak wasn't limited to a single city. Instead, a mutated version of the virus killed most of humanity, meaning the survivors now live in a small number of isolated settlements. That said, Dying Light 2 is still set in a single city, presumably because the park sy...
Mario Party Superstars is the 12th home console release for the series. It features five remade boards from the N64 titles. As a result, Mario PartySuperstars has a fair amount of nostalgic value, particularly since it also features a curated list of 100 mini-games from past releases. This game is impressive because it secured a spot on this list e...
Of course, games are now selling well for longer and longer periods. They get more support, thus making it easier for them to bring in interested individuals. Some of those are returning players. In contrast, others are new customers. According to VentureBeat, NPD said Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War was the best-selling game in the United States...
Speaking of which, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is another title with long-lived marketability. It also came out in 2020. Moreover, NPD said it was the third best-selling game in the United States that year. That means Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare were the only games to beat it then. The latter presumably fail...
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate came out in December of 2018. Subsequently, it received DLC until October of 2021, thus providing it with more longevity than otherwise possible. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is one of Nintendo's best-selling releases ever. The company itself reported more than 28 million sales as of March of 2022.
Monster Hunter: Rise isn't the same kind of monster as its immediate predecessor, Monster Hunter: World. That would need it to become Capcom's best-selling release ever, which isn't happening based on current numbers. Still, it seems safe to say that the Monster Hunter series has found a home in international markets. After all, Gematsu saysit has ...
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales came out in November of 2020. Naturally, it was one of the launch titles for the PS5. Furthermore, a somewhat toned-down version came out for the PS4 on the same day. The game has performed spectacularly on the whole. For proof, look no further than how it is still on this list even though it came out in November ...
People complain about the repetitiveness of EA's sports titles regularly. Even so, it is clear that they have managed to find receptive markets. Without that, FIFA 22 wouldn't have sold more than 9 million copies by December of 2021, as reported by GameInformer. Success is success in the end.
It is a well-known fact that people don't necessarily flock to the highest-profile titles. The mobile market is booming because people care about what they find fun rather than what they find most impressive. Similarly, the remarkable success of Nintendo Switch Sports serves as proof of the same.
For that matter, Minecraftis another excellent example. Somehow, it has a midway position on this list even though the original version came out more than a decade ago. Granted, Minecraft receives regular updates. Even so, graphics has never been its strongest point.
