In August, Circana revealed thatCollege Football 25 had overtaken Helldivers 2as the best-selling game of 2024 year-to-date in the US.
The game enjoyed a blockbuster release that drove double-digit growth in July US video game spending.
Its success was likely due to the fact it was the first new college football game in over a decade, the last being NCAA Football 14.
It was also thefirst college sports game to feature real player names and likenesses, following a decision made by the Supreme Court that the NCAA’s rules stopping athletes from making a profit from their own names violated federal antitrust law.
