The top three best-selling digital games on PS5 last month were Microsoft titles, Sony has confirmed.
The latest monthly download chart posted on the officialPlayStationBlog shows that in both the US / Canada and Europe regions, the three best-selling paid games onPS5for April 2025 were fromMicrosoft-owned studios.
In the US and Canada, the top three games for April were The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered,MinecraftandForza Horizon 5.
Meanwhile, in Europe the top three games were Forza Horizon 5, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered and Minecraft.
The news will doubtless provide further validation for Microsoft and its decision to start releasingXboxtitles on other platforms, most notably its ‘rival’ platform PS5.
Last week during an earnings call, Microsoft CEOSatya Nadellanoted that the company’s games had the most pre-orders and pre-installson both the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Storeduring the first quarter of 2025.
The company also reported that gaming revenue grew 5% compared to the same period the previous year, while Xbox content and services revenue grew 8% “driven by growth in Xbox Game Pass, Call of Duty and Minecraft“.
However, it also noted that Xbox hardware revenue declined 6% year-on-year, further highlighting the company’s shift in strategy to remain in the hardware business but also make its games available on multiple non-Xbox platforms.
Last month sales data estimates also suggested that the recently-released PS5 version of Xbox andBethesda’sIndiana Jones and the Great Circleis the fastest selling version on any platform, selling at a greater rate than the Xbox andSteamversions released months earlier (though it should be noted that Xbox andPCowners could also both play the game via Game Pass).
