Microsoft is dominating the best-selling games on the PlayStation Store

Microsoft is currently dominating the top ten games on the PlayStation Store, with six out of the ten games being Microsoft-published games.

Ever since the acquisition of Activision-Blizzard, Microsoft has been aggressively moving toward an IP-centered strategy where it will reduce the walls of exclusivity for its titles, and begin releasing what were Xbox-exclusive games onto rival platforms, specifically PlayStation. In the past, Xbox has stated that it doesn't care what platform its games are being played on, as long as it's their games, and it appears that strategy is working.

New data from Circana's Mat Piscatella has revealed that six out of the ten best-selling games on the PlayStation Store are Microsoft games, with first and second place being taken by Forza Horizon 5 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, respectively. The sales data accounts for both physical and digital sales throughout Q2 2025. More specifically, the top five games on PlayStation 5 consist of 80% Microsoft titles, with the only title of PlayStation being MLB: The Show 25.
