The Top 10 Best-Selling Games Of 2022 In The US Revealed

The NPD Group share gaming market insights every month, and alongside the best-selling games of December 2022, they have also shared the ten best-selling games of the entire year too. There are some caveats to keep in mind with their list. Whilst both physical and digital sales are counted for Xbox and PlayStation consoles, Nintendo Switch data does not include digital sales. Also, MLB: The Show 22 does not share Xbox digital sales, just PlayStation ones.

It has been a great year for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, which held the top spot in December, and also takes the #1 spot for the entire year of 2022. Even without digital sales included, both Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet managed to take spots in the yearly best-sellers, being the only Nintendo entries to crack the competitive chart. Sony also got two exclusives in, with Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarök being big sellers.
