The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Remastered introduced to the market in not very harsh drops of shadow at the end of the month, and in just a week it was significantly ahead of the first 15 months of the original Oblivion on the market.
This comes from Circan, who informs that Oblivion was not just the best -selling game in the US in April in the sale of the dollar, and until now the third best -selling game in 2025, she also sold more units in April than the original Oblivion managed in the first 15 months and brought more money than the original Oblivion in the first 14 months. Although this is not a huge shock, taking into account the much larger installation base now sold compared to 2006, it is still an amazing feat.
The remaining part of the April first twenty presents fascinating phrases on ordinary suspects, whom we see on the charts. Forze Horizon 5 was in second place, compared to No. 42 last month due to the premiere of PS5. After him is MLB: Program 25 on No. 3, then Minecraft on No. 4, compared to 11 and almost certainly goes on the release of the Minecraft movie at the beginning of April.
At number 5, he was the winner last month, Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, and then Indiana Jones and The Great Circle at number 6. Last month it has been since 118 thanks, like Forza, his release PS5. As the Circana analyst notes, Mat Piscatella, four of the top five-and five out of seven best-the best-selling games of the month on PlayStation platforms, were published by Microsoft.
It is also worth noting that The Last of Us: Part 2 jumped from No. 23 to 13 this month, probably because of the second season of the television program. And although schedule 1 does not appear on sales charts, ranking No. 1 in the USA Total Active Active Usering on Steam (Call of Duty was at the top of MAU charts on PlayStation and Xbox).
If you are a RPG fan, you may wonder where the hell Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. According to Piscatella, the publisher Kepler Interactive does not provide digital data with Circyna, and therefore digital sales Expedition 33 is not calculated and probably did not cause that he did not appear anywhere on the chart. Piscatella told me that her physical sales were among the 35 best best sellers in April, No. 22 on PlayStation, and there were 19 busy users on Xbox and 21 on Steam. “It was published at the end of the month and began a bit slowly (the rankings of the number of players improved every week from launching to 10 May),” he said. “All these bits reflect a very successful result for this type.
“It is a game that has been incredibly well received by enthusiasts, but at the end of the month it did not exceed a significant current.
In general, April consumer expenditure on video games dropped by 3% year to $ 4.1 billion, and the content seemed 2%. Expenses for subscriptions and digital consoles have passed, but all other content segments have fallen. And accessories expenses dropped by 2%.
The equipment also dropped by 8%, reaching the lowest monthly sales of the dollar of the equipment, it achieved on the American market since July 2020. PS5 was once again the best -selling console in both unit and dollar sales, despite the 5% decrease compared to last year. The switch fell by 37%, but the Xbox Series console actually increased sales year to 8%.
