If you’re looking for some solid evidence that Microsoft’s strategy to bring Xbox games to PS5 is seeing some early success, look no further than Sony’s own PlayStation Store today. The top preordered games in the US PlayStation Store are Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Forza Horizon 5, with the $99.99 premium versions of both games proving the most popular.
Resetera posters have noticed it’s the same story in the Canadian PlayStation Store and across a variety of European stores, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK. Microsoft-owned Bethesda announced earlier this week that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will debut on PS5 on April 17th, with the premium version providing two days of early access starting April 15th. Forza Horizon 5 is also coming to Sony’s rival console on April 29th.

Microsoft may have timed these two games perfectly for the PS5, amid a slow point for Sony’s own game studios, but the software maker has seen success with its earlier Xbox titles on PS5, too. Sea of Thieves debuted on PS5 in April last year and Sony revealed it was the top seller across the US, Canada, and EU markets a month later. It remained in Sony’s top downloads list for nearly six months.
Microsoft’s Xbox everywhere strategy — which I’ve been covering closely in my Notepad newsletter over the past year — is clearly doing well on PS5, and I’d expect to see more titles land on Sony’s console throughout 2025 and beyond. Microsoft is also preparing a similar list of Xbox games for Nintendo’s Switch 2, with reports suggesting the next-gen console will launch in June with third-party games to follow later this year.
