NBA 2K26 is the best-selling game in the United States (US) so far in 2025.
According to the latest sales data from Circana, despite the game not being the top-selling game for September—more on that later—, it has jumped to the top spot for the year.
Its move to the number one position pushes Monster Hunter Wilds down to second after it had been at the top since its February release. Rounding out the top 5 for the year, as of October 4, are Borderlands 4, EA Sports College Football 26, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.
