PC & Nintendo Switch are more open for new IPs compared to PS & Xbox.
Top 10 PC games by Revenue
Battlefield 6 took the top spot as the best-selling PC game of 2025. ARC Raiders came in second, and Schedule I came in third (a bit unexpectedly!).
Also worth noting: R.E.P.O. and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 both made the chart. These are good examples that new IP launches on PC are still very much possible.

Top 10 console games by Revenue
Half the chart is sports games. And that says a lot about the console audience: a meaningful chunk of PlayStation and Xbox players essentially live inside one or two sports franchises.
Beyond that, the rest of the top 10 is made up of big AA/AAA releases. Console players (setting aside Nintendo Switch) want blockbusters.
On Nintendo Switch, first-party titles continue to do the heavy lifting. That said, Newzoo analysts point out that indie and AA games that match the platform’s vibe, like Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hades II, Fantasy Life i, Tiny Bookshop, are also pulling in solid numbers.
Top 10 by MAU on PC and Console
No surprises here. The usual suspects have held their ground for the last many years: Counter-Strike 2, Roblox, Fortnite, and the rest of the live-service elite.
