For many many years now, Call of Duty has been a license to print money for Activision Blizzard as each annual entry in the series has been a blockbuster success story. October’s release kept that tradition alive as analyst firm the NPD Group has reported that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II was last month’s best-selling title in the US in dollar sales, making the 2022 release the 15th consecutive year that a Call of Duty release has ranked as the best-selling game during its release month.

While exact details on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II’s performance on PC and Xbox haven’t been made public just yet, the NPD Group did confirm that the game took first place in the US Xbox charts for November. On PlayStation, Modern Warfare II broke a number of records on the Sony platform and was its biggest game of October as well. Eight of the top 20 best-selling games of October 2022 were new releases, including Gotham Knights, which took second place in US Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 charts.
