EA Sports FC 25 led the chart with a significant sales spike, followed by the launch of Death Stranding 2, which showed strong engagement despite relatively modest figures.

Top PlayStation Games in June 2025
EA Sports FC 25 was the top-selling PlayStation game in June 2025, with 905,000 copies sold during the month. This marks the highest monthly total for the title since March. The surge was largely attributed to a significant discount that lowered the game’s price to $13.99.
Despite this strong performance, a considerable portion of the game’s potential audience has not yet transitioned to the latest version, with 59% of EA FC 24 owners still not purchasing EA Sports FC 25. In total, the number of PlayStation owners who have bought the game has reached 19.2 million, underscoring its wide appeal across the platform.
Death Stranding 2 entered the chart in second place, selling 687,000 copies in its first week of release and surpassing 850,000 copies by July 9. The title received favorable reviews from both critics and players, and user engagement was notable. A third of players have logged more than 20 hours, with 4% playing over 50 hours.
While the game’s reception has been strong, its sales figures are considered modest relative to expectations. The United States remains the largest market for the game, with China emerging as its second-largest, highlighting the growing importance of international markets in the gaming sector.
Rematch recorded 569,000 copies sold, marking a strong debut. The data shows significant player overlap with other popular competitive titles. Approximately 88% of Rematch buyers have also played Rocket League, while 61% own EA Sports FC 25 and 23% have played Sifu. These figures suggest that Rematch has successfully attracted a player base familiar with competitive and skill-based gameplay, positioning it well for long-term engagement.

Elden Ring: Nightreign continued its steady performance, with 558,000 units sold in June. While not a new release, its continued presence in the top charts reflects consistent interest and ongoing engagement among PlayStation players. The game remains a stable performer well after its initial launch period.
Forza Horizon 5 maintained a strong position with 555,000 copies sold in June. Notably, the game became the first Xbox title to surpass 2.9 million cumulative PlayStation sales, an important milestone for a cross-platform release. The game also outsold titles such as Astro Bot, reflecting its sustained appeal and reach beyond its original platform.
Grand Theft Auto V continued to rank within the top sellers more than a decade after its original release, with 431,000 copies sold in June. Its ongoing commercial success illustrates the game’s lasting appeal and the strength of its continued support and updates.
Minecraft sold 416,000 copies during the month, reflecting ongoing popularity among both new and existing users. The title continues to be a consistent performer across platforms, including on PlayStation, thanks to its broad user base and frequent content updates.
Stellar Blade sold 241,000 copies following the release of its PC version, which resulted in a fourfold increase in sales compared to previous discount periods. The jump in performance highlights the impact of platform expansion and targeted marketing strategies in driving renewed consumer interest.

The Last of Us: Part II
The June 2025 sales data from Alinea Analytics shows a PlayStation market shaped by a mix of pricing strategy, strong franchises, and expanding cross-platform interest. EA Sports FC 25’s lead, driven by a steep discount, highlights how pricing still plays a critical role in driving volume- even when a large segment of the existing audience hasn't upgraded. Death Stranding 2's launch points to strong engagement but also shows how critical market reception and timing are, especially in a competitive release window.
Games like Rematch and Forza Horizon 5 demonstrate that both new titles and platform crossovers can find meaningful success, while the continued presence of GTA V and Minecraft confirms the durability of well-established titles. As players respond to new content, platform launches, and evolving expectations, June’s chart offers a clear snapshot of what’s working - and where there’s still room for growth.
