This is a list of the highest-grossing video games of all time. The list includes games across all platforms (including arcades, consoles, computers, mobiles, and online) that have grossed at least $1 billion in revenue. The revenue figures on this list include unit sales, coin-based sales, and microtransactions.

Space Invaders (1978) is the highest-grossing video game adjusted for inflation. It was originally released for arcades by Taito (now owned by Square Enix) and is estimated to have grossed about $14 billion, equivalent to about $30 billion adjusted for inflation. In terms of nominal gross (without inflation), the highest‑grossing video game to date is Dungeon Fighter Online, a 2005 beat 'em up that has grossed $22 billion worldwide (mostly in Asia) as of 2023.
