PlayStation has announced the best-selling PS4 and PS5 games for May 2025, revealing some interesting trends among top titles. Notably, five of the top ten best-selling PS5 games in the US and Canada are developed by studios owned by Xbox. For instance, titles such as Forza Horizon 5 and Minecraft continue to dominate the PS5 charts, proving to be fan favorites. One surprising highlight of the month was the resurgence of Star Wars Battlefront 2, which emerged as the top-selling PS4 game.

On the PS5 front, Forza Horizon 5 captured the top position in both the US and EU markets.
The top ten list included several titles from Xbox studios, such as Doom: The Dark Ages, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, Minecraft, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, showcasing the cross-platform appeal of these games. Looking ahead, gamers can anticipate a wave of new releases. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is set to launch on June 26, while other exciting titles like MindsEye and FBC Firebreak will release in June. The premiere event for Death Stranding 2 on June 8 is expected to garner significant attention.
