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, marking the Call of Duty franchise's sixteenth consecutive year at the top of the US market. This success comes despite a slight overall dip in US gaming spending (1.1% year-over-year decrease), attributed by Circana to reduced hardware demand. Conversely, 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 in July.

Black Ops 6 and Warzone 2's second season launches January 28th, featuring a ninja theme and a crossover with the Terminator franchise.

Critical acclaim for Black Ops 6 centers on its diverse and engaging missions, preventing gameplay monotony. The revamped movement system, enabling versatile movement and shooting, and refined shooting mechanics received high praise. The approximately eight-hour campaign length was also well-received, deemed neither too short nor too long by many reviewers and players. The zombies mode also garnered significant positive feedback.

However, Black Ops 6 isn't without its detractors. A significant portion of Steam reviews cite technical issues as a major drawback, specifically frequent crashes and unreliable server connections hindering progression through the story mode. These technical problems represent a significant point of contention for some players.
