Apr 2025 USA Sales: PS5 Ports Award Microsoft's Forza Horizon 5, Indiana Jones Huge Boosts

Split Fiction in top 10, love to see it!

KCD2 still in the top 20 is such a W.

it's ironic that Sony has focussed so much on the hardware wars and forgetting to make games for their own system, and now Microsoft and swooping in to fill the void....

@liathach I mean, Forza is a import, Obivion is as remaster, so I wouldn't say MS have been making many games either...

@liathach Sony pivoted to live service, and then away from it. This is the lull in between those two things.

It's not that deep.

Interesting expedition 33 sold over 2 million so far and didn’t register on the charts.

@liathach
Looks like you've touched a nerve lol

@get2sammyb
Of the two games highlighted in the article graphic - Forza is developed by Playground games who were acquired by MS in 2018 and Indiana Jones is a new game mostly developed after MS acquired the publisher.

In other words they are not the result of "buying two of the biggest publishers on the planet and have been porting over their entire back catalogue".

@liathach Almost like MS has way more Devs and that these big single players games everyone wants from Sony take years to make. Like seriously even in the PS4 era we were only really getting 1 or 2 big SP exclusives each year from Sony.

Really hope we can put the console war crap aside now. Microsoft is releasing good games on everything now so hopefully all the fanboys can shut up now

@liathach You're 100% right. Half of the comments will be butthurt PlayStation CUSTOMERS mad that Xbox software is heading over to PlayStation overtaking first party sales and they'll look for any reason to punch down at other CUSTOMERS who enjoy the titles they purchased.

I don't care what hardware people play on or what software they play, as long as they're having fun. Some of you people need to grow up.

One would think that Xbox going multiplatform would greatly reduce the astro-turfing here, but it seems like exactly the opposite is happening. 😂

@GeeForce No, they didn't touch a nerve, rather they made a false comment and were corrected on it.

They maybe 'old' games but its still the first time you can play on Playstation - hence the fact these probably weren't selling enough to make the top 30. Xbox and PC gamers would already have bought and/or played on Game Pass so its no surprise to see these jump up the charts now another 100m PS5 gamers can buy and play too...

@liathach indeed. They totally forgot to make games. How silly of them.

@MrPeanutbutterz
"Corrected"?
More like admonished.

@GeeForce corrected was correct.

@GeeForce There's nothing ironic. They didn't "forget" to make games for their own system. And it's not like the hardware people make games as well so they only focused on the hardware itself.

And Microsoft didn't swoop in to fill the void, rather the lull in Sony's output just so happens to coincide with Microsoft going full ham with multiformat publishing.

So yes, I corrected them.

@MrPeanutbutterz actually, it was an ironic comment intended in jest, but the essence of satire is an element of truth...

@GeeForce an ad impression is an ad impression whatever the context....

@DennisReynolds they would definitely have more big exclusives though if they hadn't of wasted there money and time with live service crap

@Dodoo I anssume Expedition 33’s Digital sales are not included here. This only includes digital sales if the publisher shares the data. Nintendo and some of the small publishers are not signed up top the agreement.

@MrPeanutbutterz
Wow, looks like I've touched a nerve now and I didn't even have to say anything you're directing at me.

Calm down.

To add: concerned the 'correcting' in general, not solely you if that helps.

@liathach it’s insane how your comment lead to the whole comment section against you lol for saying a true statement

I’m so glad Microsoft bought those publishers, otherwise we’d be missing out on all these games and all the endless childish bragging that comes with them.

On topic, MLB doing pretty great, and FH5 getting to the number 2 spot of the mont, even though it released the 29th of April is pretty amazing!

@AdamNovice “ It's because people keep pushing this narrative that PS5 has "no games" which gets bloody tedious.”

Funny how the tables has turned with that comment. People used to throw that comment at the opposite team… Now that it has been returned to sender. Feelings are hurt.

@AverageGamer Yea thats pretty much spot on.

@Oram77 IJ in December, Avowed in Feb, South of Midnight in April, Doom in May. Amongst all their other releases (Oblivion/AOE expansions etc). I would say they are releasing a lot of games.

That’s a deeply depressing top 20. April was almost as big of a dud as Indy.

@AdamNovice There was no element of truth… Just cause people decided to not like the other titles they put out. Doesn’t mean there was no games.

I bought forza horizon 5,the 4 year old game that is superb. I'm having a lot of fun with this game and my brand spanking new thrustmaster t598 wheel just makes the game even better. God I hope we get a forza motorsport port at some point.

@Oram77 Okay, but they have been making games. They've launched Avowed, South of Midnight and Doom The Dark Ages on top of those games this year so far, and Indiana Jones might be a port but it was a recent release.
