Our forecasts proved accurate: Forza Horizon 5 has cemented its status as a dominant PlayStation 5 title globally.

The racing game surged through Sony’s digital storefront during its debut month, securing top positions in European markets and earning bronze placement in American rankings. This performance defies typical sales patterns, as most titles peak during initial launch windows rather than gaining momentum weeks later.

Elden Ring: Nightreign’s late-May arrival made waves, capturing second place stateside and fifth position across Europe. Across all platforms, the fantasy epic has moved 3.5 million copies, with PlayStation 5 contributing significantly according to sales data.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 maintained strong performance with silver in Europe and bronze in America. Combined platform sales surpassed 3.3 million units, demonstrating Sony’s console remains crucial for major releases.

Contrasting fortunes emerged for gaming giant Bethesda. While DOOM: The Dark Ages debuted modestly at fourth in US charts, its ninth-place European finish was overshadowed by The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered’s stronger regional performance.

Indie title The Precinct achieved notable cross-Atlantic chart penetration for its genre-blending approach, while Star Wars Battlefront 2’s unexpected PS4 chart domination followed renewed media attention and community engagement.
