Black Ops 6 is the top-selling game of 2024 In the US

Circana's data reveals that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 secured the top spot as the best-selling game in the United States during 2024, marking the Call of Duty franchise's sixteenth consecutive year at the helm of the U.S. market. This success comes despite a slight overall decline in U.S. gaming spending (down 1.1% year-over-year), a trend Circana attributes to reduced hardware sales, offset by a 2% increase in add-on spending and a 6% rise in service spending.

EA Sports College Football 25 claimed the title of most popular sports game, launching to consoles in July.

Black Ops 6 and Warzone 2's second season launches January 28th, featuring a ninja theme and a crossover with the Terminator franchise.

Critical acclaim for Black Ops 6 centers on its diverse and engaging missions, preventing gameplay monotony. The innovative movement system, allowing for versatile movement and shooting, and refined shooting mechanics received high praise. The approximately eight-hour campaign length also garnered positive feedback, described as neither too brief nor overly lengthy. Player reviews largely concur, particularly praising the zombies mode and the overall campaign experience.

However, Black Ops 6 wasn't without its detractors. A significant portion of Steam reviews cite technical issues as a major drawback, highlighting frequent crashes and unreliable server connections that impede progress through the story.
