Top 4 Best-Selling PS5 Games Right Now Are From Xbox
The top 4 best-selling PS5 games from last month are all from Xbox. Among the best-selling titles from April are The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered and Forza Horizon 5.
Microsoft and Xbox are dominating the recent PS5 charts, with four games now topping the best-selling charts across the EU and the US.
As revealed by Sony, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was the most downloaded game on PlayStation 5 in April 2025, with Forza Horizon topping the same charts in Europe.
Why Xbox Games Are Dominating the PS5 Charts
Since its highly publicized $68.7bn acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft has been intent on expanding its Xbox Game Pass and Xbox-exclusive titles across more platforms, launching its “This Is an Xbox” campaign in November 2024.
Microsoft’s decision to push its first-party titles to PlayStation is proving successful. Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Forza Horizon 5, and Minecraft were among the most downloaded games on PS5 last month.
The Current Top 5 Best-Selling Xbox Games on PS5
Sony has revealed the top downloaded games on PlayStation across the US and Europe last month. The best-selling games on PS5 are:
US/Canada:
Europe:
- Forza Horizon 5
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
- Minecraft
- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
- EA Sports FC 25
Last month, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, owned by Microsoft and developed by Bethesda, topped the charts in the US. It was followed closely by Minecraft and Forza Horizon 5, both of which are also Microsoft IPs.
In Europe, Clair Obscur Expedition 33, which was heavily promoted by Xbox for its Game Pass, secured a spot in the top four. Bethesda’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle made it into the top ten in Europe.
What This Means for the Future of Gaming
After Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard, many believed beloved franchises, such as Call of Duty, would be restricted to a single platform. Microsoft’s successful expansion of its first-party titles to PlayStation is a win for all gamers, proving first-party titles can find success on multiple platforms.
As Microsoft stated in its “This Is an Xbox” campaign, “At Xbox, we’re building a future defined by player choice—where people can play their favorite games, discover new adventures, and connect with friends, wherever and however they love to play.”

Microsoft is leading the PS5 charts, with Xbox first-party titles dominating last month. Do you think this is a win for gaming? Would you like to see companies like Nintendo do the same? Share your thoughts in the comments.
