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 gaming spending dipped slightly by 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, promising a ninja-themed adventure and a thrilling crossover with the iconic "Terminator" universe.

Critical acclaim for Black Ops 6 centers on its diverse and engaging missions, praised for their ability to maintain player interest throughout the campaign. The game's revamped movement system, allowing for versatile movement and shooting capabilities, and its refined shooting mechanics have also garnered significant praise.

The approximately eight-hour campaign length has been lauded by many as a satisfying balance, neither too brief nor overly protracted. Positive player feedback largely mirrors critical reception, with the zombies mode and the campaign itself receiving particular commendation.

However, Black Ops 6 isn't 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. These technical difficulties have led to some players expressing disappointment with the overall experience.
