Xbox Dominates PS5 Charts, Forza Horizon 5 'Most Downloaded' Game In May

PlayStation has just released its 'top downloads' chart for May 2025, and once again, Microsoft is dominating the list on PS5 in both the US and the EU - including a pole position for Xbox's Forza Horizon 5.

Yep, Playground Games' open-world racer is top of the charts for PS5 in both regions, following what appeared to be a pretty incredible launch period for the game as well. It was estimated that FH5 had sold over a million copies in just two weeks on PS5 - and today's new chart shows that the game continues to do incredibly well on PlayStation for Team Xbox. That's a weird sentence to type up!

The story doesn't end there though; Xbox has had even more success on PlayStation in the last month or so. In the US, four more Microsoft releases are in the top 10, including DOOM: The Dark Ages, Oblivion Remastered, Minecraft and Black Ops 6. In the EU, last year's Call of Duty game drops to 11th - but the other four titles are in the top 10 over in that region as well.

Here are the top 10 most downloaded games on PS5 in May 2025:

US EU
Forza Horizon 5 Forza Horizon 5
ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 EA SPORTS FC 25
DOOM: The Dark Ages Grand Theft Auto V

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered F1 25
Minecraft Minecraft
MLB The Show 25 The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 DOOM: The Dark Ages
EA SPORTS FC 25 RoadCraft

Looking at both the PS4 and free-to-play sections over on the PlayStation blog there, Microsoft also makes a couple of top 10 entries - with Minecraft and Call of Duty: Warzone charting on the two lists, respectively. It's safe to say that some of Xbox's biggest games are doing pretty darn well over on PlayStation, and it's great to see Forza Horizon 5 perform so strong in particular.
