Circana has launched knowledge for sport and {hardware} gross sales for July 2025 within the US, and regardless of a aggressive month, Donkey Kong Bananza has made a little bit of a splash.
Shared by Mat Piscatella on Bluesky, DK’s newest journey was the third best-selling sport of the month, crushed solely by EA Sports activities Faculty Soccer 26 and EA Sports activities MVP Bundle. It is sandwiched between the 2 sports activities releases and Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 3 + 4 and Name of Obligation: Black Ops 6.
What makes this extra spectacular is that, as at all times with US gross sales knowledge, Nintendo’s figures solely embody bodily gross sales. Now, provided that EA Sports activities Faculty Soccer is big in North America, it is unlikely DK might’ve surpassed it, however who is aware of!
We do know a couple of different issues, although. For one, Donkey Kong Bananza is, unsurprisingly, the best-selling Change 2 sport of the month. Proper behind it, nonetheless, is Tremendous Mario Occasion Jamboree, which bought a lift because of the Nintendo Change 2 Version + Jamboree TV improve.
Tony Hawk’s, Mario Kart 8, and Minecraft spherical out the highest 5. Mario Kart World has slipped from first to sixth, however do not forget, most individuals in all probability purchased the sport by way of the Change 2 bundle, and people gross sales aren’t included right here.
One final massive break for DK — simply on July’s gross sales alone, the chief of the bunch has damaged into the highest 20 best-selling video games of 2025. That is fairly a feat on simply bodily gross sales alone.
Whether or not Bananza will keep within the prime 20 stays to be seen — we’ve a busy few months arising, in any case. Nintendo hasn’t launched total gross sales figures for the sport simply but, and the following monetary outcomes aren’t due till November. However we do know it is promoting fairly effectively in each the UK and Japan, so let’s hope for excellent news.
