In June 2025, a highly popular PS5 game has been crowned as the best-selling title on Sony’s console. Remarkably, this game is not only one of the finest PS5 games released in 2025 but also ranks among the top video games across all platforms for that year. The recently unveiled champion of June sales outperformed heavyweights such as Elden Ring Nightreign, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Forza Horizon 5, MLB The Show 25, GTA 5, Minecraft, EA Sports FC 25, WWE 2K25, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows to claim the number one spot.
In June 2025, the top-selling PS5 game in the U.S. was none other than Death Stranding 2, the highly anticipated exclusive release for the PlayStation 5. This game is a sequel to the critically acclaimed Death Stranding from 2019, created by Hideo Kojima, a renowned game designer and director famous for his work on the Metal Gear Solid series.
Despite the initial PS4 version not being one of the most played exclusive games, it’s not surprising that its sequel led PS5 sales in June, a month with fewer new releases. Given that it’s one of the highest-scored games of 2025 on Metacritic (89/100), this success is hardly unexpected. Remarkably, it outranks Death Stranding by seven points, a game that was both critically and popularly underappreciated, yet considered among the best titles in the PS4 era.
It’s uncertain exactly how many units of Death Stranding 2 have been sold on PS5 and PS5 Pro. However, it’s obvious that the game is doing well, not to the point of setting the world ablaze, as Sony would be quick to boast about sales figures if the game was truly setting records.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m eagerly anticipating Death Stranding 2, which is currently a PS5 and PS5 Pro exclusive. However, history tells us that it might eventually find its way onto other platforms, much like the original game did. For now, PlayStation can boast about having this potential blockbuster alongside MLB The Show 25, both being exclusive to their console for the time being, potentially making them two of the most sought-after games of 2025.
As a devoted gamer, I can’t get enough of the latest updates on Death Stranding 2 and everything related to my beloved PlayStation 5!
