Enhanced? How do you enhance Hellblade II?!

That's the 2nd time they've labelled it as "Xbox PC"

It’s a typo!!!! According to a certain unnamed someone

Hah, at this point it is obviously intentional.

• Monster Train 2 - Day One
• To a T - Day One
• Spray Paint Simulator - Day One
• Metaphor ReFantazio - Massive Get
• Division 2 - Big Get
• Tales of Kenzera: Zau - 76 OpenCritic / 82% Steam.
• Symphonia - 80 OpenCritic / 93% Steam
• Crypt Custodian - 83 OpenCritic / 97% Steam.

Seriously Game Pass is fucking on a roll these past few months.

Symphonia looks decent 🤔 But I must ignore, I have other games to play.

Forza Horizon 5, a 4 year old port, shooting to #2, Lol, but even before that, Forza Horizon 5 was still #42, I think that's pretty damn impressive. Minecraft went 11 to 4 I assume because of the film, I did not know that Minecraft doesn't include Nintendo eShop spending though, I wonder why, I imagine it's huge on Nintendo platforms too. Indiana Jones between AC Shadows and CoD, not amazing but not bad either I'd say, decent performance, though if Disney wants more Indiana Jones I'd probably demand a lower license fee if I was Microsoft, Lol.

Forza Horizon 5 soars to the 13th highest selling game of 2025, Lol.

Given the amount of Metroidvanias out there, I'm surprised Tales of Kenzera is even *that* highly regarded.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Remastered was the best-selling game of the month, instantly becoming the 3rd best-selling game of 2025 year-to-date. It was the best-selling title across each of the PlayStation, Xbox and PC platforms.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Remastered sold more units in Apr 2025 than The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion achieved across its first 15 months in market combined following its March 2006 debut and generated more full game dollar sales than the original’s first 14 months combined.

Four of the top five - and five of the top seven - best-selling games of the month on PlayStation platforms were published by Microsoft.

Put some respect on Oblivion's name.
