Can you guess what was No. 1? Does the image give it away?

As it does each month, Circana has released its latest monthly sales report, shining a light on how the US video game industry is performing from a business perspective. Sales for October 2023 are down compared to last year, and Circana said that's attributable in part to how Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II was released in October, while Modern Warfare III came out in November. Total sales slid by 5%, declining to $4.036 billion.

For games specifically, sales dropped by 4% to $3.562 billion, a figure that covers physical and digital full-game sales, as well as microtransactions and subscription revenue for console, mobile, PC, and VR. Some companies, like Nintendo, do not share digital sales numbers with Circana, however.

But what games sold the best in October? The best-selling game should surprise no one. The header image in this story might even give it away... In any event, you can see the full list of October 2023's best-selling games for the US in this gallery.

Titles marked with an asterisk (*) do not include digital sales. Additionally, Circana does not disclose specific unit-sales numbers, only the ranking. What's more, total sales are just one element of a game's potential reach, as some games, like Starfield, are also available via a subscription membership.
