The last year was a mixed bag in terms of game launches. However, when it comes to the best ones, then players definitely had a great time engaging themselves with titles like Call of Duty Vanguard, Far Cry 6, Madden NFL 22, MLB The Show 22, and many more.

Just recently, the list of top-selling video games in the US for the year 2021 was released. Surprisingly, two of the most popular sports games, Madden NFL 22 and MLB The Show 21, made it to the Top 5. It’s a big achievement for the two games and also the studios that developed them.

This is quite surprising to witness, though. Because recently, players reported numerous issues in Vanguard, alongside other COD titles, and Call of Duty even issued an apology.
