As a gamer, I can vouch for the massive success of Forza Horizon 5 on the PS5. The latest sales figures for this open-world racer are blowing everyone away, topping the charts as the best-selling new game on the console in 2025 thus far. It’s a testament to the high-quality gaming experience that PlayStation 5 users can’t seem to get enough of!
As a gamer, I’ve just learned some exciting news! Last week, the racing title I’ve been hooked on surpassed three million sales on PlayStation 5 all by itself. This impressive feat, achieved just seven months after its launch in April, has made it the top-selling new release of 2025 for this console, according to Alinea Analytics. Incredibly, it’s even outsold Monster Hunter Wilds, which had a staggering 2.9 million sales! Now that’s some racing action worth celebrating!
According to Alinea Analytics, sales from the PlayStation Store recently contributed to Forza Horizon 5 reaching this significant milestone, as the game was offered at a 25% discount during this period. The game can currently be purchased on sale through the PlayStation Store’s summer sale, which lasts until July 30th.
Based on projections by Alinea Analytics, these are currently the projected top five best-sellers among newly released PlayStation 5 games for the year 2025, as of 21st July.
- Forza Horizon 5 — 3.0 million
- Monster Hunter Wilds — 2.9 million
- Assassin’s Creed Shadows — 2.0 million
- Elden Ring Nightreign — 1.4 million
- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — 1.3 million
Recently, we got an update about the sales of Forza Horizon 5, which was just a few weeks ago. It was then announced that the game had sold an impressive two million copies during its first month on sale. Since then, it appears that price reductions have been instrumental in maintaining a steady increase in sales.
In our review of Forza Horizon 5, we gave it an 8 out of 10 and stated that while it may be a few years old, its abundance of activities, comprehensive feature set, and exceptional driving mechanics keep it at the forefront. Given its success on the PS5, it’s reasonable to expect that the next game will be simultaneously released for the Sony system along with Xbox.
