October 2018 saw some of the biggest video game releases ever. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 launched to stellar reviews, and shattered sales records across the world. While Red Dead Redemption 2 may have had the biggest global opening, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 reigned supreme in the United States. The NPD Group provided a list of the best-selling titles in October.

The NPD Group tracks video game sales across the U.S. each month. Many companies, including Microsoft, utilize its services to gain a better understanding of how much product they've sold. Apart from that, it's become somewhat of a competition among gamers. Everyone wants to know which titles did the best.
