Monster Hunter Wilds has been named the new best-selling video game of 2025 so far in the USA, with its launch sales enough to push it into the top position. Circana data reveals that the game’s launch month dollar sales were 40 per cent higher than Monster Hunter World, and double that of Monster Hunter Rise. And while more than half its sales were for the PC version on Steam, it was still the best-selling game of February 2025 across every platform it released on.

Though it achieved second place last month, the sales stats surrounding Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 are even more impressive. The sequel’s launch month dollar sales were five times higher than what the original achieved back in 2018. Warhorse Studios’ first game went on to be a consistent seller, so Deliverance 2 is primed to shift a lot more units in the coming months and years.

Other new releases included Civilization VII recording the third-highest sales in February 2025, PGA Tour 2K25 in fourth, new Xbox release Avowed in seventh, and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii taking eighth.

As for any first-party PlayStation representation, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was the USA’s 13th best-selling game of the month, while Helldivers 2 and Astro Bot were 17th and 20th respectively.
