After massive layoffs across Microsoft and its gaming studios, there hasn’t been quite a lot of excellent news for the Xbox staff. It is small consolation to those that misplaced their jobs, however Microsoft had a dominant month in Could 2025 with 4 out of the highest 5 best-selling video games within the US.
Circana has shared its report for video games sold in May, and the one recreation within the prime 5 that wasn’t revealed by Microsoft was Elden Ring Nightreign, which debuted on the checklist at No. 1.
Doom: The Dark Ages had a robust debut at No. 2 for Microsoft and Bethesda, with Forza Horizon 5, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 rounding out the highest 5. These cross-platform releases on PS5 have apparently made a large impression. Microsoft’s perennial best-seller, Minecraft, slipped to the seventh slot in Could.
The one different new additions to chart in Could have been EA’s F1 25 at No. 15, and Capcom Preventing Assortment 2 at No. 19.
