The top-selling games of the year in the US are about covert ops and walking mushrooms, according to an industry analyst firm.
The NPD Group released its latest roundup of games industry sales data, accounting for sales both through physical retail and digital channels - except for Nintendo, which keeps its eShop data to itself. Since the end of March also marked the end of the first quarter of 2021, it's a prudent time to look back and see what games have seen the most commercial success so far. Here's the list of the top 10 selling games in the US from January 1 to March 31.
Best-selling games of 2021 so far
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
Super Mario 3D World
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Monster Hunter: Rise
Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
Mario Kart 8
Minecraft
Madden NFL 21
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Outriders
You're not alone if you feel like we've been in a bit of a drought for big games recently. Only three of the top-selling games for the year so far - Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Monster Hunter: Rise, and Outriders - actually came out in 2021. Now here's what sold the best in March specifically.

According to The NPD Group's data, Outriders came in at third place on both Xbox and PlayStation platforms. People Can Fly's new loot shooter debuted on Xbox Game Pass, but it seems like subscribers being able to play for free didn't cut into standard sales as much as you might expect.
