It’s no secret that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 hasn’t sold as well as 2024’s Black Ops 6, and now Circana has released more sales data that speaks to the performance of the military shooter.

Black Ops 7 was the No. 1 best-selling game in North America for November, but the Call of Duty franchise experienced a double-digit percent decrease for full-game dollar sales compared to November 2024. Last year’s game, Black Ops 6, was released in October. Despite the sales downturn, this marks the 18th straight year that a new Call of Duty game has ranked No. 1 for its launch month. For anyone keeping score, that streak began with 2008’s Call of Duty: World at War.

Black Ops 7 is now the No. 7 best-selling game of 2025 so far, with EA’s Battlefield 6 continuing to rank No. 1 for the year. For November, Black Ops 7 was No. 1, followed by Battlefield 6, NBA 2K26, Madden NFL 26, and EA Sports FC 26 rounding out the top five for the month.

The Circana report doesn’t tell the whole story of Black Ops 7’s sales performance, as the company only tracks sales in North America. Additionally, Black Ops 7 is available on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass, which eats into full-game sales. For 2024’s Black Ops 6, a report estimated that Activision lost out on $300 million in revenue due to Game Pass.

Microsoft no doubt also saw upside, too, though, with new sign-ups for Game Pass and engagement. To that end, Call of Duty–as a collective franchise spanning multiple titles–will finish 2025 as the No. 1 franchise for Xbox Game Pass.

In other news, Activision has said it will no longer release Call of Duty games in the same sub-series, like Modern Warfare or Black Ops, in consecutive years.

It is rumored that 2026’s new Call of Duty game is Modern Warfare 4 from developer Infinity Ward, though this is not confirmed.
