Microsoft and Xbox published 13 games on PlayStation in 2025, the most they’ve put on their former rival’s machine. So just how well are the games selling on the blue brand? A new report claims to have that data. Let’s take a look.

The report comes from Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics. Now, keep in mind, these are not official numbers as Xbox doesn’t share sales data these days. Instead, Alinea use their own magic formulas and weird rituals to estimate the numbers. So far, the company’s data has proven to be very accurate, but it is not without mistakes or controversies regarding its calculation methods, so keep that in mind.

The biggest success was Forza Horizon 5, which Alinea reported on last week, stating that the open-world racer sold a whopping 5.1 million copies on PlayStation. This has apparently generated $300m in revenue for the brand, but keep in mind that accounting for PlayStation’s 30% cut.

Then we have The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, which Rhys claims sold 1.1m on PS5. That’s pretty decent, although Alinea’s data shows that roughly half of PS5 players only played for less than 15-hours. That’s a little surprising.

Next up, we have Gears of War: Reloaded. I thought this was going to sell like hotcakes, and yet it turns out only 572k copies were sold on PS5. Alinea claims 202k sold on Xbox and 73k on Steam, bringing the total sales to roughly 850k. Of course, Game Pass eats sales. Indeed, Alinea says 1.6m people played via the service, giving us a glimpse at just how much Game Pass effects sales.

The third most successful Xbox launch on PlayStation was DOOM: The Dark Ages, shifting 495k on Sony’s machine. This latest entry in the DOOM series has suffered weaker sales than probably expected, although again, Game Pass makes it far harder to judge success.

I’ll break down the rest in a table below, so you can see the lot. Notably, Alinea’s data does not include Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, which has had a much weaker year than normal but still probably sold millions. Hellblade 2: Senua’s Sacrifice was not included in the data, either.

All in all, based on the sales numbers we do have and some back-of-the-napkin math, I’d estimate $510m in sales from Xbox games on PlayStation this year, not accounting for Sony’s cut. Once you throw in CoD, the numbers will be much higher.
