Forza Horizon 5 Takes the Lead as 2025's Best-Selling New PS5 Game

With over three million copies sold, Forza Horizon 5 has become the top-selling new game on the PS5 in 2025, surpassing Monster Hunter Wilds. The game's PS5 port, released on April 29, 2025, has achieved this milestone in under three months. Notably, this is the first time a mainline Forza game has been released on a PlayStation console, marking a significant shift in Microsoft's approach to multiplatform releases. According to sales data tracked from January 1, 2025, to July 21, 2025, Forza Horizon 5's sales have been remarkable, with two million copies sold just 25 days after its release. A 25% discount recently helped push the game past the three million mark, solidifying its position as the best-selling game on the PS5 in 2025. This achievement reflects Microsoft's changing strategy, as stated by Phil Spencer, to make Xbox first-party releases more accessible across platforms, including the Switch and PlayStation.
