Welcome back to the Canadian edition of Charting in the Clouds, our monthly look at Canada’s best-selling games and the latest Canadian game sales trends. Thanks to new data from the Entertainment Software Association of Canada (ESA) and Circana, we’ve got a clear snapshot of what you were buying in February 2026.
February’s chart shows Resident Evil: Requiem taking the first place spot, pushing Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and NHL 26 down a step. We also saw Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined enter the list in fourth, proving that the appetite for classic RPGs remains high. Helldivers II also returned to the top ten, while Diablo II: Resurrected made an unexpected arrival as people revisited a familiar favourite.
We’ve included cloud gaming availability again this month. Many of February’s top games are available in the cloud on platforms like GeForce NOW, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Amazon Luna, and Boosteroid.
Let’s take a closer look at Canada’s top-selling games for February 2026.

Horror and RPGs Move to the Front
Resident Evil: Requiem took the top spot in February, which is a massive feat when you realize it didn’t even launch until February 27. Clearing the field of giants like Call of Duty and NHL with only two days of sales proves the franchise still owns the horror space. It shows that you were waiting to jump in the second it arrived.
Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined in fourth is another interesting development. JRPGs often find a dedicated audience in Canada, and seeing a classic title return with a new coat of paint and climb this high shows that you’re looking for deeper, longer experiences. Between this and Diablo II: Resurrected returning at seventh, February was a big month for games that require a significant time commitment.
Shooters and Sports Stay in the Mix
While new releases grabbed the headlines, the big annual franchises haven’t gone anywhere. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and NHL 26 are still holding onto the top three. These games are staples of the Canadian market, and seeing them stay this high into February shows their staying power. Whether you’re jumping into a quick match or spending your evenings in a campaign, these titles continue to drive the most volume.
EA Sports FC 26 and NBA 2K26 also stayed in the middle of the pack. Both of these titles are easy to jump into through cloud services, with NBA 2K26 in particular showing up across almost every major cloud gaming platform. Helldivers II returning to tenth is also worth a mention, as the community for that game continues to stay active months after its initial arrival.
Resident Evil: Requiem Proves Horror and RPGs Defined the Canadian Market in February
The February results point to a month where something new finally broke the usual cycle of annual releases. Resident Evil: Requiem taking the lead was the biggest news of the month, but seeing Diablo II: Resurrected back on the list shows that Canadians are still finding a balance between brand new hits and familiar classics. Shooters and sports games shared the rest of the spotlight as the year began to open up.
What makes this list interesting is how much of it is already available through cloud gaming. Outside of a few titles, you can play most of these games on a phone, tablet, or laptop without needing a dedicated console under the TV. As we move further into 2026, that balance between hardware-locked games and cloud-accessible titles is something we’ll keep watching closely. January’s results gave us a solid baseline, and February’s results show that you’re still finding ways to play across all platforms.
Now that we’re into 2026, this breakdown works as a clean snapshot of what you were playing during the coldest part of the year. More cloud platforms are pulling in games like Call of Duty and Battlefield, while others remain tied to their own hardware. Each monthly chart shows that split clearly: some games are easy to jump into through cloud gaming almost anywhere, others still live on one console in your setup.
What about you? Which of these February games did you play, and did you jump in through the cloud or stick to local hardware?
