Grand Theft Auto V and EA's Tetris are the only other known video games to have sold over 100 million copies. The best-selling game on a single platform is Wii Sports, with nearly 83 million sales for the Wii console. In 2023, Minecraft became the first video game to surpass 300 million copies sold worldwide.
- PUBG – 320 Million. The game that kicked off a frenzy that saw the entire multiplayer gaming landscape reshaped over the past few years, PUBG still commands a huge audience despite the battle royale genre becoming flooded with copycat titles.
- Fortnite – 240 Million. Love or hate Fortnite, it surely has to go down as among the most important video games ever made. Epic Games’ battle royale has totally recalibrated what it means to build and support a successful “live service” video game.
- Roblox – 210 Million. Roblox has skyrocketed in popularity since its launch back in 2006, especially over the past five or so years. Back in 2016, CEO David Baszuski was proudly touting 700,000 concurrent players and declaring the 1 million milestone wasn’t far from the corner.
- Minecraft – 170 Million. Minecraft is a juggernaut that just keeps on steamrolling. The unending freedom to create, explore, and interact with other players in the Overworld makes it less of a game and more of a metaverse to just hang out.

People have been claiming the Call of Duty bubble would burst for the better part of a decade now, and yet here we are once again with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War standing at the top of the 2020 bestselling list. Despite some rumblings behind the scenes with the apparent change-up of which developer’s COD would come out this year, Cold War’s s...
If there was ever an incentive to keep annualizing your franchise, it must be having last year’s version come in second only behind the current year’s. Last year, we got the rebooted Modern Warfare with a more daring, if slightly controversial, single-player campaign. But, this is COD we’re talking about here, so as long as it has the name recognit...
Here is where we get to the first asterisk on the list, and which will show up on all the Nintendo-exclusive titles on this list. All Nintendo titles on this list, starting here with Animal Crossing: New Horizons, are ranked based on only their physical sales. Nintendo, for whatever reasons, does not share any of its digital sale data. That means t...
Next up we have one of the few annualized series that has been around longer than COD, Madden. What can really be said about Madden NFL 21? It’s the newest, slightly updated version of last year’s game. While it may seem strange, sports fans continue to show their passion for these games year after year, despite outcries about the franchise basical...
In a rare turn, the Assassin’s Creed games have arguably seen better sales, as well as better products overall depending on your preference on the series becoming more heavy RPGs, since they stopped being an annual series. Valhalla, which is the third game to follow the new formula set in Origins, had plenty of time to build up hype and excitement ...
The second game on this list to be a platform exclusive, this time for Sony’s PlayStation 4, is one of the follow-ups to one of the best-reviewed games of all time. Expectations for this game were sky high in all areas, from graphics and gameplay to story and acting and, at least in terms of sales, The Last of Us: Part 2 managed to meet them. Mat P...
In terms of surprises, it would hard to imagine one as big as Ghost of Tsushima was in 2020. Another Sony exclusive from the developers at Sucker Punch who just came off of the Infamous and Sly Cooper games, this open-world samurai action-adventure game hit all the right boxes. Not only did it give what gamers were begging for from the Assassin’s C...
Now we have the oldest game on the list, and the only game aside from Modern Warfare that didn’t actually come out in 2020. This port of the WiiU title just can’t seem to be stopped. Month after month, it somehow holds a place within, or at least close to, the top 10 sellers ever since it came to the Switch. It isn’t hard to see why this game is so...
If a port of an old Mario Kart game can make the top 10, then three ports of old Mario platformers certainly can too. That said, this collection of Mario 64, Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxydidn’t launch without a bit of controversy that may have turned some people off of buying this bundle. The most confusing aspect of this bundle may also b...
Rounding out the top 10 is the bold remake of one of the most influential and popular JRPGs of all time, Final Fantasy VII: Remake. Similar to 2019’s Resident Evil 2 remake, Square Enix took a massive risk on this title in just about every way. Not only did they completely retool the combat, turning a turn-based system into a real-time action syste...
