The trend was even more pronounced on Xbox consoles, where live-service titles swept the entire top ten list. In a surprising turn, Black Ops 7 barely scraped into the rankings, while WWE 2K25, Monster Hunter Wilds, Borderlands 4, and Sony’s Helldivers 2 all featured prominently in the Xbox top ten.

Nintendo followed a similar trajectory, though with its own brand of multiplayer focus. Titles like Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Mario Kart 8, Minecraft, and Kirby Air Riders dominated the Switch charts. Conversely, the PC market displayed more variety, where single-player hits such as Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and the Oblivion Remastered found substantial success.
Battlefield 6 emerged as a cross-platform juggernaut, topping both Xbox and PC charts while taking second place on PlayStation. Perhaps most surprising was the performance of Monster Hunter Wilds, which saw its strongest sales on PC despite reported optimization issues at launch. These rankings underscore exactly why major publishers remain fixated on the lucrative live-service model.
Final Fantasy 14 director Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida praised Ghost of Yotei as an “exceptional” achievement, noting it is one of the 2025 titles he finds most captivating.
