Here are the best selling games of October 2020

The influx of video game and console sales due to COVID-19 could reach its end as we round out 2020. VentureBeat reports that sales in October 2020 were up just 14% compared to this time last year, which is a stark decline from previously booming months.

However, this could also be due to a slow-down in new releases.

According to NPD.com, these were the best selling video games of October 2020:

1. FIFA 21
2. Madden NFL 21
3. Watch Dogs: Legion
4. NHL 21
5. Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit
6. Super Mario 3D All-Stars
7. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
8. Star Wars: Squadrons
9. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
10. Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time

Having debuted in the top spot last week, it’s painful to see Marvel’s Avengers tumble out of the top 10 completely; coming in at #14. This is no doubt a factor of its buggy launch and unfulfilled promises.

At least Crash Bandicoot 4 is sustaining well!
