Xbox has transitioned into a third-party game publisher, meaning many of their games are currently playable on the PlayStation 5, with even more titles set to be released in the future.
It’s intriguing to discover the sales figures for these titles, such as Indiana Jones and Forza Horizon 5, which are currently leading the sales rankings on the PlayStation Store.
Currently, there are approximations widely distributed by the Norwegian-based analysis firm Alinea Analytics that offer some insight into potential sales of Microsoft’s ports on Sony’s platform.
As a gamer, I gotta make it clear that these numbers are just ballpark figures – 96% accuracy is what they’re touting. However, when it comes to the nitty-gritty of their methods, I couldn’t dig up any specifics.
Nevertheless, these are the numbers:
- Sea of Thieves: 1.8 million units
- Grounded: 436.5k units
- Hi-Fi Rush: 137.3k units
- Age of Mythology Retold: 41.0k units
- Pentiment: 14.0k units
Since Age of Mythology Retold has been launched just on March 4th, and the information provided here is updated till March 26th by Alinea Analytics, we’ll temporarily disregard it in our discussion.
The rest of these numbers, Sea of Thieves aside, are pretty uninspired, however.
It’s disheartening to see that Hi-Fi Rush, which was widely acclaimed as a critical success, struggled to sell more than 100,000 copies after the closure of its developer Tango Gameworks. This sparked a lot of affection from fans when the studio closed down.
Pentiment, at just 14.0k units, doesn’t look like it was even worth the investment on the port.
Sea of Thieves demonstrates the promise in this area. The game has consistently performed well, especially in Europe, and is expected to increase its success over time.
Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that we anticipate games such as Indiana Jones and Forza Horizon 5 will showcase exceptional performance. In fact, we believe that Forza Horizon 5, specifically, is poised for massive success, selling millions of copies on PS5 in our estimation.
If the information provided is correct, it’s worth considering whether it might impact Microsoft’s choices to some extent. It’s evident that there’s demand for their major franchises, or ‘tentpole titles’, but it appears the potential gain could be significantly less for lesser-known releases.
