Gross sales evaluation agency Circana has launched its gaming business gross sales information for Could 2025, and FromSoftware and Bandai Namco can have trigger to have fun this month.
Based on Circana’s Mat Piscatella, Elden Ring Nightreign was the best-selling sport throughout all codecs in Could, and it topped the person PlayStation and Xbox charts as properly. As a reminder, I awarded the sport an 8 out of 10 rating, so I am fairly happy it managed to promote in addition to it did.
In fact, provided that gross sales topped 3.5 million only a few days after the sport was launched, it isn’t shocking that Nightreign carried out in addition to it did. Nonetheless, for the reason that sport is an experiment on FromSoftware and Bandai Namco’s behalf, it’s going to little question come as a nice shock for each studios.

Could’s second best-selling sport throughout all codecs was Doom: The Darkish Ages, which, contemplating that the sport was launched on Recreation Move on day one, is fairly spectacular. As a reminder, Bethesda introduced shortly after launch that Doom: The Darkish Ages had hit three million gamers, though since that quantity consists of Recreation Move gamers, it is maybe not fairly as useful because the studio thinks.
Neither of those video games have managed to topple Monster Hunter Wilds or The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered because the best-selling video games of 2025 year-to-date. By the way, Forza Horizon 5 is in third place, largely due to its launch on PS5 in late April.
As ever, Nintendo’s chart is off in its personal little world, since most of the aforementioned video games weren’t launched for the Swap. That platform’s best-selling sport for Could was Mario Kart 8, due to course it was, adopted by Capcom Preventing Assortment 2.

As ever, Piscatella’s full thread is properly value a glance. It is obtained loads of stats on issues like {hardware} gross sales and the cellular market as properly, so be sure you give it a look in the event you’re into your numbers.
