Most Wanted May

[axumblade]

Paper Mario makes certain it doesn't split the honor or be taken over in the overall chart this month. Grand Theft Auto VI makes a power move. Hollow Knight takes a dip. And the highest debut doesn't quite crack the top 25 but still makes an appearance on the last month of eligibility at least.

When you split things up a bit by platform, the top 5 has a little bit of everything. Nintendo gains the top spot. PC and Xbox split 2nd and Playstation caps off the top 5.

With May and June coming, I expect some more games with release dates to start contributing to this list. We are losing 6 of these titles this month. So at least I hope that's the case.
