After coming off of one of the busiest years for game releases, the first month of 2024 still managed to feature the launch of several highly-anticipated games.
Call of Duty claims top spot alongside strong debuts for six January games
Despite these high-profile releases, it was last year’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfare IIIthat managed to secure the top spot on Circana’s best-selling software charts for January 2024. But immediately following the shooter are three games that all initially launched last month:Tekken 8at second,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguein third andPersona 3: Reloadat fourth. Although Suicide Squad and Persona 3 both technically released their standard editions in the early days of February, the tracking period for Circana lasted from June 22, 2025 through February 3 of this year, which is why both titles managed to appear so high on the charts. Further down,Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealthmade its first appearance in seventh, while the remastered version ofThe Last of Us: Part IIhelped it jump all the way up to the ninth spot.
Outside of the top ten, two other January releases managed to sneak into the full list of twenty titles.Prince of Persia: The Lost Crownmade its debut in thirteenth, while Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash snuck in at the nineteenth spot. For those wondering why the surprise survival hit Palworld is not anywhere to be found despite the recent announcement that the game has surpassed 25 million players since its release last month, Circana Analyst Mat Piscatellashared over on Twitterthat the game’s publisher Pocketpair is not a DLP participating member, so digital sales for the game were not included.
