Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Was October 2018’s Best-Selling Game
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was October 2018’s best-selling game in North America, beating out Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 in this highly-competitive month.
Not only did Black Ops 4 become the best-selling game of the month, it almost instantly became the best-selling game of the year, and its launch month dollar sales are the eighth highest on record since NPD began tracking game sales in 1995. Black Ops 4 was the best-selling game of October on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Though exact numbers weren’t provided in NPD’s official report, we do know Black Ops 4 had a two week head start, and Red Dead Redemption 2 only had nine days that it was on sale in NPD’s October window ending on November 3. These launch month sales were more than triple what the original Red Dead Redemption sold in its launch month, and it’s already the second best-selling game of the year.

Star Wars’ Oscar Isaac Says Episode IX Shares Carrie Fisher’s Legacy in ‘A Really Beautiful Way’
Oscar Isaac, who has played Resistance pilot Poe Dameron since Star Wars: The Force Awakens, has said that Star Wars: Episode IX handles Carrie Fisher's Leia in "a really beautiful way."
Speaking to The Daily Beast, Isaac promised that "the still untitled ninth film will pay appropriate homage to Leia - and to Fisher's sense of fun."
“The story deals with that quite a bit,” Isaac explains. “It’s a strange thing to be on the set and to be speaking of Leia and having Carrie not be around. There’s definitely some pain in that.” He does, however, reveal that “there’s a looseness and an energy to the way that we’re shooting this that feels very different.”
