Xbox's Forza Horizon 5 Is Cleaning Up on PS5 Right Now 1

We predicted it, and it’s come true: Forza Horizon 5 is officially one of the biggest PS5 games on the planet.

After launching right at the end of the month, the game did well in April’s PS Store sales charts, where it raced away with pole position in Europe and finished on the podium in USA. But now in its first full month on Sony’s system, it’s topped across both sides of the pond.

This is particularly extraordinary because games usually sell the bulk of their copies during their first few days of availability, but Playground’s open world racer is clearly going from strength-to-strength as it establishes itself within the PlayStation ecosystem.

Elden Ring: Nightreign, which released on 30th May, is the other big story here, finishing second in the USA charts and fifth in Europe. We know the game’s already sold 3.5 million units across all platforms, with PS5 clearly contributing massively based on these results.

Other noteworthy stories include the continued success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which secured second position in Europe and third in USA. Again, the game’s sold 3.3 million units across all platforms, with Sony’s console clearly helping it to achieve that overall total.

There aren’t many major surprises elsewhere, really. DOOM: The Dark Ages, as expected, had an uneventful opening, finishing fourth in USA but all the way down in ninth in Europe. In fact, it was outsold by fellow Bethesda game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered in the Old World.

Special mention should be reserved for The Precinct, the isometric GTA-style indie game, which managed to force its way into the charts across both Europe and USA.

And we’d also like to point out the rejuvenated success of Star Wars Battlefront 2, which topped the PS4 sales charts across both sides of the pond. The game didn’t feature anywhere in the Top 20 in April, so it’s a dramatic rise for the release, fuelled by TV show Andor and social media.
