Black Ops 6 is the top-selling game of 2024 In the US

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Dominates US Game Sales in 2024

Circana's data reveals Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 as the top-selling game in the United States for 2024, extending the Call of Duty franchise's reign at the top of the US market for an impressive 16 consecutive years. While overall US gamer spending dipped 1.1% year-over-year, a trend Circana attributes to decreased hardware demand, spending on add-ons and services saw growth of 2% and 6%, respectively.

EA Sports College Football 25 claimed the title of most popular sports game, launching to consoles in July.

Black Ops 6 and its companion title, Warzone 2, are set to launch their second season on January 28th, featuring a ninja-themed update and a thrilling crossover with the iconic "Terminator" universe.

Critical acclaim for Black Ops 6 centers on its diverse and engaging missions, preventing gameplay monotony and consistently surprising players. The game's shooting mechanics and innovative movement system, allowing for omnidirectional running and shooting while performing actions like falling or lying prone, have also garnered significant praise.

The approximately eight-hour campaign length struck a chord with many reviewers, deemed neither too brief nor overly extensive. Player feedback largely mirrored these sentiments, with particular enthusiasm for the zombies mode and the overall campaign experience.

However, Black Ops 6 hasn't been without its detractors. A significant portion of Steam reviews cite technical issues as a major drawback. Reported problems include frequent crashes and unreliable server connections, hindering progression through the story mode.
