Top-Selling Video Games in Canada for May 2025

Circana, along with the Entertainment Software Association of Canada, has unveiled the most popular video games in Canada for May 2025. This list highlights which titles captured players' attention last month.

Before diving into the rankings, it's important to note that digital sales figures for Minecraft are not included in this report.

The Best-Selling Titles

  1. Elden Ring Nightreign (Bandai Namco)
  2. Doom: The Dark Ages (Xbox)
  3. Forza Horizon 5 (Xbox)
  4. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered (Xbox)
  5. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (Xbox)
  6. F1 25 (EA)
  7. Minecraft (Xbox) [digital sales not included]
  8. Split Fiction (EA)
  9. Grand Theft Auto V (2K)
  10. EA Sports FC 25 (EA)

A Closer Look at Canadian Contributions

This month's list features a notable entry from EA Vancouver with EA Sports FC 25. Additionally, Beenox from Quebec City played a role in developing Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Interestingly, Ubisoft Quebec's action-adventure game, Assassin's Creed Shadows, was absent from the top ten after making appearances earlier this year.

No Major Surprises Among Top Sellers

The rankings reveal few surprises. Notably, Elden Ring: Nightreign swept to first place despite its release on May 30. Following closely is Doom: The Dark Ages, a title that launched on May 15. The strong performance of Doom (an Xbox-published game also available on PS5) is significant and mirrors trends seen with other titles like Forza Horizon 5, and both versions of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered and Call of Duty.. This trend underscores how crucial it is for games to be available across multiple platforms to attract wider audiences. However, even as profits rise within Microsoft's gaming division, they have still made cuts among staff as part of their shift towards AI initiatives.

  4. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered (Xbox)
