This is a list of the best-selling video games worldwide, ranked up to 50th place by reported software unit sales. Reliable sources are split as to whether the title of best-selling video game should belong to Tetris, a 1988 multi-platform puzzle video game created by Alexey Pajitnov, or to Minecraft, a 2011 multi-platform sandbox game created by Markus Persson and developed by Mojang Studios. Some sources consider Tetris to be the best-selling video game by combining the sales of all of its different versions, totaling 520 million as of 2022, while others consider the best-selling video game to be Minecraft, which has sold 350 million copies as of 2025, rejecting the aggregation of each Tetris release. The closest competitor to either is Grand Theft Auto V, which has sold over 225 million copies. The best-selling single-platform game is Wii Sports, with nearly 83 million sales for the Wii console.
