Xbox just had a great Q2…and it might have PlayStation to thank. Or is it PlayStation that should be thanking Xbox?

Per data shared from Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, six of the ten best-selling games on PlayStation consoles in the U.S. during the second quarter of 2025 (April through June) were published by Microsoft.

Most of those games were new. Forza Horizon 5 debuted at No.2 for the quarter (just behind Elden Ring Nightreign). The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Remastered was right behind it. Doom: The Dark Ages debuted at No. 6 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle came in at No.8.

They were joined by returning titles Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 at No.4 and Minecraft at No.9.

Sony only had two first-party games in the top ten: MLB: The Show 25 at No.4, and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach debuting at No.7.

This news comes as Xbox announces its Q2 earnings, which saw gaming revenue up 10% year-over-year and Xbox content and services revenue up 13%, driven by growth in first-party content and Xbox Game Pass (hardware revenue declined 22% year-over-year).

Notably, the top 10 games on Xbox last quarter look a bit different. Oblivion: Remastered still took a spot all the way up at No.2, followed by The Elder Scrolls: Online at No. 2 and Minecraft at No.4. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 showed up at No.9.

But Indiana Jones and Doom didn’t rank, likely due to both games launching into Game Pass (though Oblivion did as well). Forza Horizon 5 also wasn’t present, though this is more likely due to it releasing on Xbox back in 2021 initially, as compared to it appearing on PlayStation for the first time this past April.

Regardless, it’s no surprise why Xbox’s gaming content revenue was up this quarter, demonstrating that its strategy of multi-platform releases may work for it after all as long as it can keep the new games coming. That said, it may find that more difficult to do going forward, as the company has recently laid off hundreds of workers and canceled multiple projects, including Everwild and Perfect Dark.
