PS5: five of the ten most pre-sold games on the PlayStation Store are Xbox originals

For a few hours, the list of the ten leading pre-order games on the PlayStation Store showed a truly unusual picture, as five positions were occupied by original Xbox titlesas noted by user ManaByte on the NeoGAF forum.

In particular, Sea of ​​Thieves held three positionsincluding the first with the Premium Edition, Grounded was in third place, behind only the Deluxe Edition of Stellar Blade, and The Elder Scrolls Online Deluxe Upgrade: Gold Road it occupied ninth position, between the Standard and Deluxe editions of Sea of ​​​​Thieves.

The other games in the ranking were the aforementioned Stellar Blade, exclusive to the PS5, which was in second and seventh positions, Elden Ring with the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion (fourth and fifth positions) and Destiny 2: The Final Shape (sixth position) . In short, the presence of Xbox games was truly massive and did not escape the most attentive.

Xbox games are beating Playstation games there, and this happened with Rise of the Ronin. We also remember that even Dragon’s Dogma 2 lost to Sea of ​​Thieves in pre-orders!

Microsoft’s multiplatform strategy appears to be starting to bear fruit, with PlayStation users showing great interest in the games on offer. We remember that Xbox has already launched two other titles for PlayStation in the recent period: Pentiment and Hi-Fi Rush, both very well received.
