In January 2025, the US sales charts saw a return of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which were originally PS5 exclusives but had been released on PC last month. They managed to secure the third and sixth spots respectively due to strong sales. Interestingly, the top-selling game of the month was not a new release; Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 maintained its leading position from December.
In January 2025, the PlayStation 5 (PS5) continued to lead the pack among gaming hardware, outperforming other consoles in both unit sales and revenue. However, compared to the previous year, there was a significant decrease of 38% in PS5 hardware spending. This trend isn’t unique to Sony, as the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch also saw reduced sales. According to Mat Piscatella’s analysis, the demand for the advanced PS5 Pro model has slowed down compared to the PS4 Pro during the same timeframe.
When examining this year’s statistics against those from last year, it’s essential to keep in mind that January 2024 encompassed a five-week period, while the previous month only had four weeks of consumer spending data. Consequently, the timing of the data doesn’t perfectly align when comparing them due to the different durations.
Moving on to the list of the 20 most popular games sold in January 2025, only one new game made it – “Donkey Kong Country Returns HD”. For Sony, Astro Bot and Helldivers 2 managed to hold onto their positions within the top 20. Interestingly, It Takes Two experienced a massive increase in sales after Split Fiction’s announcement and upcoming release. It climbed from 82nd place to an impressive 20th position in just one month.
