3 Xbox Studios Titles Dominated PS5 April Sales Charts

With the arrival of Xbox Studios titles on PS5, PlayStation players have not wasted a second to jump right into them. Going multiplatform with some of their flagship titles has been a boon for PlayStation, obviously, since never-before-released titles are popping up on the platform, but it has proved to be even more beneficial for Xbox itself, as their games keep topping the PS charts.

The year ahead is already stacked for PlayStation, featuring massive first-party releases like Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei, but the arrival of first-party Xbox Studios games on the platform for the first time in the history of gaming has made the year even more notable for PlayStation, and 2025 will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest years in gaming. Even though the year’s still young, Xbox Studios is already dominating PlayStation on its own platform.

Oblivion Remastered, Minecraft and Forza lead April’s PS5 charts

on X, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered leads the April PS5 charts, with Minecraft and Forza Horizon 5 right behind. Even if Xbox couldn’t dominate PlayStation when it comes to hardware sales, they’re clearly dominating the PS5 charts, and this will most likely do nothing but encourage and motivate Xbox to further release their other first-party titles on their competitor’s platform.

Xbox Studios titles Oblivion Remastered (#1), Minecraft (#2), and Forza Horizon 5 (#3) have been dominating the sales charts on PS5 in April.

Although all of these titles are on Game Pass, they’re still doing very well on PlayStation, from the looks of it, and this is a great sign for upcoming first-party Game Pass titles like Doom: The Dark Ages. Oblivion Remastered topping the April chart could also convince Xbox to release the highly anticipated Elder Scrolls VI on PlayStation, even though the game is still most likely years away from launch.

Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones both topped the pre-order charts on PlayStation as soon as they went live, so it’s not surprising for Xbox Studios games to do well after release on PlayStation. While Sony is focusing more on innovating their hardware and creating the most immersive console experience possible,

’s focus is more on bringing their games to as many players as possible, and so far, their multiplatform strategy hasn’t let them down.

PlayStation has finally bagged both GoW‘s on their platform with Gears of War: Reloaded, a remastered version of the first Gears of War game, releasing August 26 of this year. Thankfully, it won’t be affected by the price hike as the official price of the game has been revealed to be a reasonable $39.99. It’s just a matter of time before we see Halo following suit and dropping on PlayStation.

Aside from being remastered from the ground up, the game will also feature 4k resolution, 120 FPS support, and a fully cross-progression and cross-play enabled multiplayer experience, so players are getting the full next-gen package. Eventually, when Halo comes to PlayStation 5, Sony will have secured the three pillars of Xbox games under its catalog: Forza, Gears of War, and Halo, completely driving Xbox out of the console exclusivity market, with only a few exceptions.

What do you think about Xbox’s multiplatform strategy? Do you think it’s a good move that ensures Xbox’s longevity? Or do you believe that Xbox is doing this out of desperation as a last resort to get back at PlayStation? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
