The gaming industry has seen incredible successes this year, and 2025 is no exception. In fact, recent findings reveal the top 10 games that have generated the highest revenue this year, and the numbers are sure to intrigue both gamers and industry analysts alike.
According to a comprehensive annual report released by the research firm Newzoo, which was published on December 19, 2025, the financial performance of various titles has been meticulously tracked through November of this year. This report highlights the leading games across PC and console platforms, all ranked by their global revenue.
Newzoo's findings are based on data sourced from its Game Performance Monitor, which analyzes digital earnings from key markets including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. The report spans revenue figures from January to November 2025, providing a detailed look into the gaming landscape.
Topping the list as the highest-grossing PC game is "Battlefield 6," while on consoles, "EA Sports FC 26" takes the crown. Notably, both lists reflect a strong preference for shooter games and sports franchises, which seem to dominate the market.
In an analysis of these trends, Newzoo pointed out, "When we examine both the PC and console rankings, it becomes evident that there is a distinct divergence in value creation. The PC segment thrives on diversity, depth, and innovative intellectual properties, while console revenue is firmly rooted in large-scale franchises and habitual player engagement."
Additionally, Newzoo also provided insights into the most popular games based on average monthly active users (MAU). For PC, "Counter-Strike 2" emerged as the favorite, while "Fortnite" continued to reign supreme on consoles.
