The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered tops April sales, becoming 2025's third-biggest selling game | US Monthly Charts Sales of games, hardware, and accessories all slip YoY, by 2%, 8%, and 2%, respectively Image credit: Bethesda News by Vikki Blake Contributor Published on May 21, 2025 The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered topped Circana's charts for US game sales in April 2025 - becoming the third best-selling game of the year to date - while video game spending across games, hardware, and accessories all slipped a little year-on-year, by 2%, 8%, and 2%, respectively. As noted by analysts Circana, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion: Remastered sold more units in April 2025 than The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion achieved across its first 15 months in market combined. It has also generated more "full game dollar sales" than the original’s first 14 months combined. As detailed by Circana's executive director, Mat Piscatella, Forza Horizon 5 was the second-best-selling game after its PS5 debut, whilst Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - which also jumped to PS5 this month - came in in third position. Four of the top five - and five of the top seven - best-selling PlayStation games were published by Microsoft. In news unlikely to surprise you, Call of Duty HQ led all titles when it comes to monthly active users, but Schedule 1 boasted the biggest active users in April on Steam. Monopoly Go!, Royal Match, and Candy Crush Saga were the biggest games in terms of consumer spending in April. Hardware sales in April fell to $186 million - that's down 8% year-on-year, and the "lowest monthly hardware dollar sales total reached in the US market since July 2020. While both PS5 and Switch hardware sales were down - the latter by a considerable 37% - Xbox bucked the trend by seeing Xbox Series sales increase by 8%. Accessory spending was down 2% YoY. “While April 2025 showed a slight decline in the U.S. mobile games market compared to March, several top games continued to perform strongly,” said Lexi Wei of Sensor Tower. “Gossip Harbor: Merge & Story experienced the most significant ranking improvement this month, climbing five spots to enter the top ten at #9. This surge was driven by a 9.8% increase in consumer spending, largely attributed to the Easter Jamboree event launched on April 10, which introduced new decorative content and gameplay elements.” Here are the top 20 selling games from the period April 6 to May 3, 2025, data courtesy of Circana: Rank Last month rank Title 1 NEW The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion: Remastered 2 42 Forza Horizon 5 3 2 MLB: The Show 25^ 4 11 Minecraft^^ 5 1 Assassin's Creed: Shadows 6 118 Indiana Jones and the Great Circle 7 6 Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 8 4 WWE 2k25 9 8 NBA 2K25 10 7 PGA Tour 2K25 11 3 Monster Hunter: Wilds 12 5 Split Fiction 13 23 The Last of Us: Part 2 14 13 EA Sports FC 25 15 12 Grand Theft Auto 5 16 14 Red Dead Redemption 2 17 29 The Elder Scrolls: Online 18 16 Elden Ring 19 10 Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 20 21 Hogwarts Legacy ^ Digital sales on Nintendo and Xbox platforms not included ^^ Digital sales on Nintendo platforms not included
