As Gears of War: Reloaded gets ready to hit PS5 day one, PlayStation reveals Xbox probably made Phil Spencer's mouth water by dominating its console's April best-sellers

"It seems that Xbox's cross-platform strategy has successfully buoyed its titles on PS5, with top titles dominating download charts in April."

"The success of Forza Horizon 5, Oblivion Remastered, and Minecraft as top-sellers illustrates Xbox's impactful timing in this strategic rollout."

"Days Gone Remastered, while a PlayStation title, underperformed compared to Xbox's offerings, showcasing the effectiveness of Xbox's aggressive multi-platform approach."

"Gears of War: Reloaded is set to join the cross-platform strategy, further leveraging Xbox's strategy of timed exclusives for broader reach."

Microsoft's strategic release of popular Xbox titles on PS5 has yielded impressive results, dominating download charts in April 2025 with games like Forza Horizon 5 and Oblivion Remastered. This move aligns with expectations of boosting their presence in the multi-platform market, especially during a period with limited competition from PlayStation. The success of these titles in both the European and US markets suggests a strong resonance with gamers. Meanwhile, PlayStation's key release, Days Gone Remastered, didn't perform as well, indicating a shift in player interest that favors Xbox's offerings. Another title, Gears of War: Reloaded, is set to join this strategy soon.
