About This Dataset

This chart ranks the best-selling individual video games of all time by total copies sold across all platforms, measured in millions of units. Figures combine physical and digital sales reported by publishers and independent trackers.

✨ AI Insight

Tetris leads this ranking with roughly 520 million copies sold, narrowly ahead of Minecraft at 400 million; sources are split on which truly holds the top spot because of how versions are counted. There is then a steep drop to Grand Theft Auto V at 230 million, showing how far the two leaders sit above everything else. Rockstar places two titles in the top four, while Nintendo appears repeatedly through Wii Sports, Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario Bros. The tail of the list, from Terraria to Super Mario Bros., clusters tightly between 58 and 70 million, indicating a broad group of blockbusters well behind the runaway leaders.
