they are already thereThe 20 best-selling video games in January 2023, at least in the United States. January is usually a quiet month when it comes to game releases, but in the first month of 2023 some great new titles have been released.
Dead Space, Forspoken, One Piece Odyssey, Fire Emblem Engage, and the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of Monster Hunter Rise were released in January 2023.
Hi-Fi Rush launched as an Xbox Game Pass Day One game, and Persona 3 and Persona 4 launched on modern platforms. Now, a new chart highlights the top 20 best-selling games in January 2023 in the US across all platforms.
The NPD Group has unveiled the list of the best-selling titles of January 2023 in the United States, confirming that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was the best-selling game over this period. The critically acclaimed remake of Dead Space placed second, followed by two sports games: Madden NFL 23 and FIFA 23.
Nintendo Switch exclusive title Fire Emblem Engage was ranked fifth, and Forspoken and One Piece Odyssey were ranked seventh and ninth, respectively. Although the table includes digital sales of some games, it should be noted that digital sales of titles published by Nintendo do not add to this list.
Moving up the list, The Last of Us Part 1 saw a huge increase in sales, from 36th in December 2022 to 11th in January 2023, likely due to the HBO series.
Other standouts include Pokémon Scarlet and Violet in tenth place, with titles like Minecraft and Mario Kart 8 in the bottom half. The last episode on this list was NHL 23, with Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales right above it.
