Marathon was one of the best-selling video games in March 2026 in the United States. On Wednesday, Circna released the best-selling games of the month, and it featured six new releases along with two games returning to the top 20 after previously falling out.
Leading the way was MLB The Show 26. And while digital sales on Nintendo and Xbox weren’t included in the data, it still found its way to the number one spot despite only being on the market for two weeks at the time.
Resident Evil: Requiem, which was February’s best-selling game, fell from first to second this month. In third was WWE 2K26, followed by Bungie’s Marathon at four and Pokémon: Pokopia at five.
