According to a recent report, the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 editions of Call of Duty: Black Ops and its sequel Black Ops II together moved more than 11 million units in July.
Alinea Analytics projects that Black Ops II alone accounted for 8.2 million digital sales, while the original Black Ops added another three million, eclipsing all other PlayStation titles released the previous month.
The 2010 and 2012 releases of the games on PS5 and PS4 topped the charts, alongside long‑standing hits such as Grand Theft Auto V and Minecraft, and the newly launched Palworld, which finally hit version 1.0 after years in early access.
Only two recent releases appear on the list, both reimagined classics: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag: Resynced, which sold 1.6 million copies, and Halo: Campaign Evolved, which managed a modest 351,000 units following Xbox’s contentious move to port it to PlayStation.
The remainder of the chart is dominated by sports games, notably FC 26 and EA Sports College Football 27.
