College Football 25 Surpasses Sales Records, Becomes Best-Selling Game of 2024 in Just Two Weeks

After a long wait spanning 18 years, College Football 25 has shattered the sales records of the best-selling PS2 NCAA game and surged ahead of Helldivers 2 on the US sales charts. The long-anticipated release from EA Sports came in July, and it appears that the excitement surrounding the game was indeed warranted. In just a short span of 12 days, it has already become the best-selling game of 2024 in the United States.

Mat Piscatella from Circana, the group formerly known as NPD, reported that College Football 25's launch has positioned it as the top-selling game of the year-to-date, significantly influencing both content and hardware growth within console markets. The sales figures from its launch month have notably surpassed the entire lifetime sales of the previously leading college football game, NCAA Football 07, by more than three times.

Since College Football 25 was released on July 19, the sales data for that month only reflects a mere 12 days of sales activity, enhancing the impressiveness of its best-selling title. It is important to note that these statistics pertain solely to the US market, where College Football has risen to surpass competitors like Helldivers 2, Dragon's Dogma 2, and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth as the top seller for the year thus far.

Data from Circana indicates that College Football 25 ranks as the seventh-largest title on both Xbox and PS5 concerning monthly active user engagement. While it pales in comparison to popular live service games such as Fortnite, Call of Duty, GTA 5, and Roblox, it also faces competition from the popular free-to-play shooter, The First Descendant. Regardless, being associated with such successful franchises demonstrates its strong market position.
