Todd Howard, CEO of Bethesda, considers Doom to be one of the two most influential video games in history, not Skyrim or Fallout, but the classic title. Everybody has a preferred video game. For instance, Jack Quaid stated in an interview a few days ago how much BioShock impacted him, to the extent that he wanted to be in the film (or television series). However, what if we asked you about the most significant historical figure? We have a few options because Todd Howard, Bethesda’s boss, has expressed a desire to weigh in on this BAFTA-posed query.
These are the two most important video games in Bethesda’s history, according to Todd Howard
According to BAFTA, identifying the most influential video games is a difficult process, and different people will interpret this issue in different ways. Some will select works that established a genre, characterized a period, or established industry norms for storytelling and/or interactivity. The capacity of an output to transcend the medium may be sought after by others. Of course, there are also each of us individual cases—the video games that shaped and altered us.
In light of all of this, BAFTA was established a few days ago to ask users and industry titans like Todd Howard, the director of Fallout 3, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and, more recently, the expansive space odyssey Starfield, to determine which game has had the greatest impact on history. As Todd Howard stated, Tetris and Pac-Man are the most influential video games of all time, owing to their impact on video games and widespread appeal. However, Super Mario Bros. and Doom are regarded as the most influential games because of their considerable impact on the present development of video games. Although undeveloped, Howard’s point of view is extremely tenable. Additionally, Super Mario Bros. paved the way for many platformers, both now and forty years ago with Super Mario Bros.
These are the US top best-selling video games of 2025 so far
An industry-tracking company called Circana revealed that Monster Hunter Wilds is officially the best-selling game in the United States of America as of February 2025. Monster Hunter Rise’s sales from 2021 were even quadrupled by the newest series’ opening month dollar sales, which were also 40% greater than Monster Hunter World’s. Even though the PC version accounts for half of total sales, Monster Hunter Wilds continues to have the highest sales across all platforms, including PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Six recently released video games have broken the top 20 best-selling titles in the United States this month. All five of them made it into the list’s top 10.
Monster Hunter Wilds topped the list, with Kingdom Come: Deliverance II coming in second. The highly acclaimed Kingdom Come: Deliverance sequel was also well received by players, as seen by its debut month sales in dollars, which were five times more than those of the 2018 original. Third place for the best-selling game of February 2025 went to the eagerly anticipated 4X game Civilization VII, while fourth place went to the golf simulation game PGA Tour 2K25. Hawaii’s Pirate Yakuza, Avowed, and Like a Dragon came in seventh and eighth, respectively. Despite its enormous success and number one spot on the sales leaderboard for February 2025, Monster Hunter Wilds was unable to counteract the month’s falling video game sales.
In February 2025, total video game sales were down 11% from the same month the year before and down 6% from the same period the year before.
