Microsoft has revealed a list, or rather several lists, of the most popular games of 2025 based on Xbox store ratings, sales and more. Unsurprisingly, games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Arc Raiders and Borderlands 4 led most of the charts, with annual sports franchises like EA Sports FC26 and NBA 2K26 also ranking highly.

The Xbox lists reveal some interesting information regarding the most sold games on the platform alongside those with the longest player engagement, daily active users, and amount of units sold overall in 2025. Surprises like Digimon Story: Time Stranger, Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 and Dynasty Warriors: Origins all make appearances with the usual suspects dominating most of the charts. Black Ops 7 seems to have done well for itself on Xbox, despite reportedly bringing in ‘disappointing’ sales initially.
