Marathon Was One Of The Best-Selling Games In March 2026
In March 2026, the United States video game market demonstrated strong sales performance across multiple genres, according to data released by Circna. MLB The Show 26 claimed the top position despite having been available for only two weeks, though the rankings excluded digital sales figures from Nintendo and Xbox platforms, highlighting performance on other distribution channels.
Resident Evil: Requiem, which dominated February’s sales chart, fell to second place in March. WWE 2K26 secured third position, followed by Bungie’s Marathon at fourth and Pokémon: Pokopia at fifth. The March rankings included six new releases entering the top 20 best-selling games list, with two previously charted titles returning after dropping out of the rankings in earlier months.
Beyond software metrics, the gaming hardware market showed robust momentum, with hardware sales climbing 69% in March 2026 compared to prior periods. The combined software and hardware growth indicates a healthy market environment driven by diverse consumer interests spanning established franchises, new live-service titles, and other gaming products.
