Xbox games took over the April 2025 sales charts across all gaming platforms. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered grabbed the top spot for sales on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. Forza Horizon 5 came in second place, with Minecraft landing at number four. These Microsoft titles made up three of the five best-selling games last month. On PlayStation, four of the five top-selling games were actually Xbox titles.
Call of Duty kept its crown for most monthly active players on both Xbox and PlayStation systems. Oblivion Remastered ranked fifth most-played on Steam, where Schedule I held the number one position. The remastered game already stands as 2025's third best-seller, behind only Monster Hunter Wilds and Assassin's Creed: Shadows. Five Xbox games appeared in the overall top 10 sales list, with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 rounding out Microsoft's offerings. Despite Microsoft's software success, PlayStation continues to lead in hardware sales.
Data came from Circana executive director Mat Piscatella, who shares gaming industry statistics monthly. Hardware spending decreased compared to April 2024 figures for US markets.
