Turns Out, Assassin's Creed Shadows is the Best-Selling Console Game of 2025 - Excluding Sports Games and Shooters

The game has been actively criticized online, but some have still bought the new installment in the Assassin's Creed franchise.

Recently, analysts from Newzoo presented a new report. They reviewed console game sales and highlighted the top 10 best-selling projects.

As it turned out, the criticized Ubisoft game still managed to take a high position in the sales chart (compiled by revenue).

The "top ten" included various established franchises — sports games from Electronic Arts and Battlefield, as well as Borderlands, MLB The Show, Pokemon, and Assassin's Creed.

According to the data presented, Assassin's Creed Shadows is the best-selling console game of 2025, excluding sports projects and Battlefield 6.

The data as of November is taken into account — December data will be included in the report for the full year 2025, which is planned to be released in January next year.
