In May 2025, U.S. video game spending increased by 1% year-over-year to reach $4.1 billion, driven primarily by a 29% surge in non-mobile subscriptions. The PlayStation 5 was the only console to experience sales growth during the month, while Xbox and Nintendo Switch sales declined. The top-selling game across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms was "Elden Ring: Nightreign" by Bandai Namco. Other notable best-selling titles included "Doom: The Dark Ages" and "Forza Horizon 5." Interestingly, "Star Wars: Battlefront 2," originally released in 2017, rose to become the 12th best-selling game by dollar sales in the U.S., likely due to renewed interest from the TV series "Andor." Despite the Xbox price increase negatively impacting hardware sales, Xbox-published games dominated the list of best-selling games in the U.S. for May 2025.
