Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds topped Circana’s US charts for February, and is the best-selling game of 2025 so far.
The action RPG secured the top spot on PlayStation and Xbox’s individual platform charts, with more than half of its sales being accounted for on Steam.
According to Circana, launch month sales of Monster Hunter Wilds were more than double than the total Monster Hunter Rise generated in March 2021. Monster Hunter Wilds sold 8 million units in three days, becoming the fastest-selling title in Capcom’s history.
Warhorse Studios’ Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 came in second, ranking at the same spot on the PS and Xbox charts.
As reported by Circana, the launch month sales of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 were “more than five times higher” than Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s launch revenue in February 2018.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 generated 1 million sales in just 24 hours following its release on February 4, 2025. It then went on to sell 2 million units in less than two weeks.
The Top Ten included four more new releases, including Civilization 7 at No.3 and PGA Tour 2K25 at No.4 followed by Avowed at No.7 and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii at No.8. Avowed also ranked No.6 on the Xbox engagement charts.
As for mobile content, Monopoly Go remained in the top spot followed by Last War: Survival which moved up two spaces which overtook Roblox for the first time in monthly US mobile spending as highlighted by Sensor Tower’s Samuel Aune.
“Last War: Survival saw a 17% increase in in-app purchase revenue month over month, while both Royal Match and Roblox saw declines of around 9%,” said Aune. “If this trend continues, Last War: Survival will be the No.2 game by US mobile gaming in-app purchase revenue.”
He added: “Also of note are the two Pokémon games: Pokémon TCG Pocket and Pokémon Go. This is the first time that two games with the same IP (though different publishers) have made [the Top Ten] at the same time, an impressive feat.”
Looking at US consumer spending for February, it fell by 6% year-over-year to $4.5 billion. Circana notes that “spending so far this year is 11% lower than at the same point in 2024 at $9 billion.” Video game content spending also fell by 4% YoY to $4 billion.
Elsewhere, hardware revenue dropped by 25% to $256 million compared to the same period last year. This marks the lowest February total since 2020, when hardware revenue was $184 million.
The report also notes that after the first 52 months in market, PlayStation 5 unit sales are 7% ahead of PlayStation 4 while Xbox Series X|S is behind Xbox One at 19%.
