The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered launched in a not-so-surprising shadow drop at the tail end of the month, and in just one week managed to vastly outsell the original Oblivion's first 15 months on the market. This comes from Circona, which reports that Oblivion was not just the best-selling game in the US for the month of April in dollar sales,

And the third best-selling game in 2025 so far, it also sold more units in April than the original Oblivion managed in its first 15 months and brought in more money than the original Oblivion did in its first 14 months. While that's admittedly not a huge shock given the massively larger install base Oblivion sold into now compared to 2006, it's still an incredible feat.

The remainder of April's top 20 present some fascinating twists on the usual suspects we see on the charts. In second place for the month was Forza Horizon 5, up from number 42 last month due to its PlayStation 5 launch. Following it is MLB The Show 25 at number 3, and then Minecraft at number 4.

up from number 11, and almost certainly riding high from the release of the Minecraft movie earlier in April. At number 5 was last month's winner, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and it's now followed by Indiana Jones and the Great Circle at number 6. Indiana Jones is now up from number 118 last month, thanks to, like Forza, its PlayStation 5 release.

As Sarkana analyst Matt Piscitella notes, four of the top five in five of the top seven best-selling games of the month on PlayStation platforms were published by Microsoft. If you're an RPG fan, you might be wondering where the heck Claire Obscure Expedition 33 is.

Per Piscitella, publisher Kepler Interactive doesn't share digital data with Sarkana, and thus Expedition 33's digital sales aren't counted and likely resulted in it not appearing anywhere on the chart. Piscatella did tell me that its physical sales ranked it among the top 35 bestsellers in April, number 22 on PlayStation, and it was the 19th in monthly active users on Xbox and 21st on Steam.
