EA Sports College Football 25 has become the best-selling sports game ever launched in the U.S., according to industry-tracking firm Circana. The revival of EA’s college football franchise has been doing good business since it launched in September, and even recently won the Game Award for Best Sports/Racing Game for this year. Its success is a standout in a relatively quiet month in U.S.-based video game sales.

“Projected November 2024 U.S. consumer spending on video game hardware, content and accessories fell 7% when compared to a year ago, to $5.8 billion,” said Mat Piscatella, Circana’s executive producer for games reports. “The decline was driven in part by the debut of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 in October this year, while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023) launched during the November tracking month a year ago.”
