Summary

  • PlayStation reveals the best-selling PS4 and PS5 games for May 2025.
  • Various Xbox-owned studios made five of the top ten best-selling PS5 games in the US/Canada for last month.
  • Thanks to a recent player resurgence, Star Wars Battlefront 2 was the best-selling PS4 game for May 2025.

It’s been disclosed that Sony’s PlayStation 5 has unveiled its top-selling games for May 2025, and astonishingly, half of them are produced by different studios under Xbox’s ownership. The popularity of games differs regionally, but titles like Forza Horizon 5, Minecraft, and the remastered version of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion have been reigning the charts and are among the most demanded games on PlayStation 5.

Last month, many highly-anticipated AAA games ruled the PlayStation 5 rankings. However, the sudden surge in players of the 2017 title, Star Wars Battlefront 2, has left a significant mark, propelling it to the leading position on the PlayStation 4 charts. Following the triumph of Andor Season 2, Star Wars enthusiasts worldwide have banded together to convey a clear message to Electronic Arts (EA): greenlight Star Wars Battlefront 3. Some initiated petitions, while the majority returned to Star Wars Battlefront 2, even breaking its concurrent player count record on Steam for the first time since 2021. EA has yet to comment on the game’s resurgence, but fans are hopeful that the studio will recognize the demand for a third installment.

In May 2025, “Star Wars Battlefront 2” led the PlayStation 4 sales charts, but “Forza Horizon 5” claimed the top spot for PlayStation 5 titles, not just in the US but also in the EU. A recent blog post reveals this information. Interestingly, five out of the ten highest-grossing games for that month were developed by studios owned by Xbox. Specifically, “Forza Horizon 5” ranked first, “Doom: The Dark Ages” came in fourth, “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered” placed sixth, “Minecraft” took seventh place, and “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6” was the ninth best-selling game.
