Revealed earlier today, the best-selling games on PS5 for May were listed on the , and the usual suspects are all there. Helldivers 2, Assassin's Creed, and GTA are all where you'd expect them to be, but it's Sea of Thieves that has managed to top last month's board, beating the likes of Madden and fellow Xbox title Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Of course, we don't have any firm numbers, so we don't know exactly how impressive this feat is, but topping something like Call of Duty signals it's doing well at the very least. It's also worth noting that it's been a pretty slow year for PlayStation so far, with Stellar Blade and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth probably the biggest exclusives so far, and we know the latter rather infamously sold quite poorly.

Either way, it's a roaring success for Xbox, and could pave the way for more exclusives on PlayStation in the future. Hi-Fi Rush, Grounded, and Pentiment all made the jump to PS5 recently, but it was Sea of Thieves that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox picked out as a &qu꧂ot;key test" that would decide whether releasing its exclusives on other platforms is a worthwhile endeavor. It's safe to say that the test went well.
