The ports of older titles are even outselling heavy hitters like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and the baseball MLB series at the top end of the sales chart.
Pulling together our huge Q2 Games Market Dynamics report, which includes this chart (among, like, frankly too many others) and just kinda stared at this one for a bit.
Wild times in the console market these days. Imagine showing this list to someone in 2015.

More ports of Xbox games are expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks, but even without those reveals, we know the likes of Gears of War: Reloaded and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 are coming across this summer. Rumours suggest Microsoft is also working on PS5 versions of Starfield, Halo, and more. Based on the huge sales boost a PS5 port can give a game, it’s clear to see why Microsoft is persisting with its multi-platform efforts.
There’s the possibility Sony could be getting in on the act too, as Helldivers 2 has already been announced for Xbox Series X|S. More recently, a PlayStation job listing suggested the company is looking into more ports, but was later played down by a reliable insider.
