Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Outsold Red Dead Redemption 2 in October

In Terms of Dollar Sales, Black Ops 4 Topped Red Dead Redemption 2

An October NPD sales chart that was released on Tuesday showed that Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 managed to outsell Rockstar’s latest hit, Red Dead Redemption 2, in terms of dollar sales in the United States.

In the States, Black Ops 4 was the best-selling game of October 2018 and is, so far, the best-selling game of the year, according to NPD. The latest Call of Duty entry has been well-received by many critics, with our own review describing it as “an unrivaled multiplayer shooter”.

“One thing is for certain, Black Ops 4 is easily the best multiplayer experience we have seen from the franchise to date,” our reviewer wrote. “With a robust line-up of multiplayer maps, 3 graphically stunning zombie experiences and featuring the best battle royale shooter on the planet, Call of Duty fans should be thrilled with what Black Ops 4 is offering.”
