Xbox Games Are Killing It On PS5

More evidence has been put forward as to why Xbox has been rather loosey-goosey about keeping their first-party games on their dedicated hardware. Simply put, they’re killing it on PlayStation.

Circana’s Mat Piscatella shared on Bluesky that six of the top 10 games on PlayStation were published by Microsoft, including Forza Horizon 5, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Doom: The Dark Ages, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and more.

Here are the Q2 2025 US best-selling title rankings for PlaySation (revised from yesterday, oops), Xbox and Nintendo platforms. Ranked on dollar sales, physical and digital from participating publishers (see my pinned).Apologies for the error in the chart I posted yesterday. Good eyes, internet.

Of note, this is just accounting for US sales, other countries are still up in the air, but we suspect Xbox is definitely making more with their games on PS in regions where their hardware sorely falls behind.

This proves to us that they’re absolutely going to keep releasing first-party games on competing platforms, which in turn, can be put right back into making stellar games.

What do you think? Are you happy to see some of Xbox’s biggest releases hitting big on their competition’s platform? Let us know below!
