The Entertainment Software Association of Canada (ESAC) and Circana have revealed the best-selling games in Canada in July 2026.<\/p>\n

The full list is as follows. Note that digital sales are not included for Nintendo and Xbox games.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Assassin\u2019s Creed Black Flag Resynced (Ubisoft Singapore\/Ubisoft)<\/li>\n
  2. Echoes of Aincrad: Sword Art Online (Game Studio\/Bandai Namco)<\/li>\n
  3. Splatoon Raiders (Nintendo)<\/li>\n
  4. Grand Theft Auto V (Rockstar North\/Rockstar Games)<\/li>\n
  5. Red Dead Redemption II (Rockstar Games)<\/li>\n
  6. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream (Nintendo)<\/li>\n
  7. Digimon Story: Time Stranger (Media Vision\/Bandai Namco)<\/li>\n
  8. Resident Evil Requiem (Capcom)<\/li>\n
  9. Halo: Campaign Evolved (Halo Studios\/Xbox)<\/li>\n
  10. MLB: The Show 26 (San Diego Studio\/PlayStation)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It should be noted that Circana confirmed this week<\/a> that Xbox and EA are no longer sharing digital sales data with the firm. Unfortunately, this reduces transparency in an already notoriously secretive industry.<\/p>\n

    Otherwise, the most notable thing about this list, from a Canadian perspective, is that\u00a0Assassin\u2019s Creed Black Flag Resynced\u00a0<\/em>is a Ubisoft Singapore-led remake of Ubisoft Montreal\u2019s original acclaimed 2013\u00a0Black Flag<\/em>. The Montreal team was also one of many global studios assisting with the development of the remake. Additionally, Oakville, Ont.-based Rockstar Toronto helped in the development of\u00a0GTA V<\/em> and\u00a0Red Dead Redemption II<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    For context, these were the ten best-selling games in the U.S. in July<\/a>, per Circana:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (Treyarch\/Activision)<\/li>\n
    2. EA Sports College Football 27 (EA Orlando\/EA Sports)<\/li>\n
    3. Assassin\u2019s Creed: Black Flag Resynced (Ubisoft Singapore\/Ubisoft)<\/li>\n
    4. EA Sports MVP Bundle (2026) (EA Orlando\/EA Sports)<\/li>\n
    5. Call of Duty: Black Ops \u2013 (Treyarch\/Activision)<\/li>\n
    6. Halo: Campaign Evolved (Halo Studios\/Xbox)<\/li>\n
    7. Splatoon Raiders (Nintendo)<\/li>\n
    8. Echoes of Aincrad: Sword Art Online (Game Studio\/Bandai Namco)<\/li>\n
    9. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream \u2013 Nintendo<\/li>\n
    10. 007 First Light (IO Interactive)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Notably, the first two Black Ops\u00a0<\/i>games made the U.S. list \u2014 but not the Canadian counterpart \u2014 more than a decade after their original release because they just got PS4 and PS5 ports.\u00a0And as always<\/a>, Nintendo games and JRPGs charted higher in Canada, while sports games and shooters were more popular in the U.S. (That said,\u00a0GTA V\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Red Dead Redemption II\u00a0<\/em>both made our list while they were absent on the U.S. one.)<\/p>\n

      It will be interesting to see what comes out of the August list, as it\u2019s a relatively quiet month for releases outside of a few titles like Marvel Tokon,\u00a0<\/em>Big Walk\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Star Wars Zero Company.\u00a0<\/em>This leads into an absolutely stacked September that includes high-profile games like\u00a0The Blood of Dawnwalker <\/em>(Sept. 3),\u00a0Onimusha: Way of the Sword\u00a0<\/em>(Sept. 4) Marvel\u2019s Wolverine\u00a0<\/em>(Sept. 15),\u00a0Fire Emblem: Fortune\u2019s Weave<\/em> (Sept. 17), and Control Resonant\u00a0<\/em>(Sept. 24).<\/p>\n
