Over the last 20 years, a lot has changed in the video game industry. Online multiplayer live-service games have become more and more popular, 2D platformers have become less common, console games based on movies aren’t really a thing anymore, and we get a lot more remasters.

However, not everything has changed. For example, newly released data from Circana shows the best-selling games over the last 20 years. This data shows that people have never stopped buying Madden in the last two decades. And for the last 15 years or so, people can’t get enough Call of Duty. Pokemon and Spider-Man games also seem to be just as popular in 2024 as they were in 2004.

Also, if you see an * or a ^ next to any of the following titles, that indicates that its digital sales aren’t included on some or all platforms. And if you want more data, Circana has the top 20 best-sellers for each year here.

Now, in order, here are the top 10 best-selling games from 2000 all the way to 2023.
