10 of the 20 best-selling PlayStation games of all time (in the US) are Call of Duty

Last year, Sony officially celebrated the 30th anniversary of the PlayStation brand, announcing and releasing a ton of various free and paid anniversary memorabilia. That said, 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of PlayStation in America. In celebration of this, industry analysts have shared the top 20 best-selling games of all time on PlayStation (in the US) – half of which is Call of Duty.

Taking to BlueSky, industry analyst Mat Piscatella of Circana shared the “top 20 all-time best-selling games on PlayStation platforms in the US, from Circana's Retail Tracking Service.”

The chart offers ranking based on both dollar sales as well as unit sales. For our purposes, we will be looking at the latter. That said, there isn’t too big of a difference between the two, with both variables seeing Call of Duty take up half of the entire list.

With that, the top 20 best-selling PlayStation games of all time in the US (based on unit sales) is as follows:

• 1. Grand Theft Auto V
• 2. Minecraft
• 3. Red Dead Redemption II
• 4. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
• 5. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)
• 6. Marvel's Spider-Man
• 7. Call of Duty: Black Ops Ill
• 8. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
• 9. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
• 10. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022)

• 11. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
• 12. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
• 13. The Last of Us
• 14. God of War (2018)
• 15. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

• 19. Call of Duty: WWII
• 20. Call of Duly: Black Ops 4

While there are of course a number of major first-party titles on the list, it is interesting to see just how important 3rd-party games are for PlayStation – especially Call of Duty.
