‘EA Sports College Football 25’ top-selling game in U.S. in July, says Circana

Circana analyst Mat Piscatella said that Electronic Arts’ (EA) “EA Sports College Football 25,” which launched in July, debuted as the best-selling game of 2024 in the U.S. year-to-date and was the primary driver of both content and hardware growth on console platforms. Launch month dollar sales of “EA Sports College Football 25” more than tripled the total lifetime dollar sales of the previous best-selling college football game, “NCAA Football 07.” The EA Sports MVP Bundle, which includes the “EA Sports College Football 25 Deluxe Edition” and “Madden NFL 25 Deluxe Edition,” ranked 2nd among July’s best-selling titles, and placed 5th for the 2024 year-to-date period. The only other new release to rank among the top 20 best-selling premium games in July was Nintendo’s (NTDOY) “Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition.” Its physical sales alone ranked 1st on Switch during the month, and 6th overall. Other top selling games in the U.S. in July were Bandai Namco’s (NCBDY) “Elden Ring,” Activision’s (MSFT) “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III,” Microsoft’s “Minecraft,” Warner Bros. Discovery’s (WBD) “Hogwarts Legacy,” Sony‘s (SONY) “MLB The Show 24,” and EA’s “EA Sports FC 24.”
