Xbox Games Are Dominating Sales Charts, Thanks To PS5Xbox games on PlayStation are selling quite well, it seems. Circana has released its newest monthly sales report for the US video game industry , and one of the takeaways is that Microsoft-published games launching on PS5 led to a massive surge in popularity. Forza Horizon 5, which came to PS5 on April 29, was the No. 2 overall best-selling game of April 2025 in the US. In March, it was the No. 43 best-selling game, so it clearly did well on PS5. Another Xbox game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, came to PS5 on April 17. It was the No. 6 overall best-selling game in the US for April 2025, rising from 118th in March. Looking at the PS5 sales chart specifically, April's top-selling game on PlayStation platforms in the US was another Microsoft title, The Elder Scrolls V: Oblivion Remastered. In fact, four of the top five best-selling games on PlayStation--and five of the top seven--were published by Microsoft. These include Oblivion Remastered (No. 1), Forza Horizon 5 (No. 2), Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (No. 4), Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (No. 5), and Minecraft (No. 7). Below you can see the top 20 best-selling games overall for April 2025 in the US, as shared by Circana. In other news, Microsoft just announced that another Xbox game, Hellblade 2, is coming to PS5 this summer . After that will come Gears of War Reloaded, which launches on PS5 in August. Microsoft has said it's bringing Xbox games to PlayStation out of a desire to have its games reach the widest possible audience. Xbox games coming to more platforms will also help Xbox make more money, and that's part of the equation as well. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer said this plainly before, stating that while Microsoft only makes 70% of the revenue from one of its games sold on PS5 with Sony taking its 30% cut, that's money that it might not make otherwise . Microsoft then takes that money and uses it to make more Xbox games, Spencer said. Microsoft's multiplatform release strategy varies by game. Starfield, for example, launched exclusively for Xbox on console and has not come to PS5 as of yet, whereas Doom: The Dark Ages launched simultaneously across all platforms this May. 20.
