The October 2025 PlayStation sales analysis highlights a robust period for both new AAA releases and established evergreen titles.
- EA's FC 26 sold 3 million copies on PlayStation in October, bringing its total to over 8 million units on the platform and maintaining its position as a primary revenue anchor.
- Sony's Ghost of Yotei launched with 2.7 million copies sold, establishing itself as a major single-player success despite selling at a slower pace than its predecessor due to the smaller PS5 install base.

Who 'Won' October 2025's Steam Next Fest?
GameDiscoverCo's Simon Carless analyzes which demos performed best in Steam's October 2025 Next Fest, which featured roughly 2,900 demos.
- Steam Next Fest is no longer a primary discovery engine, as top-performing titles consistently rely on pre-existing momentum rather than organic festival visibility.
- A significant performance gap exists between the top 5% of participants and the median game, which added fewer than 500 wishlists during the October 2025 event.
- Successful titles are characterized by 'grokkable' gameplay mechanics, specifically favoring co-op, survival, and extraction shooter genres over established intellectual property.

- Battlefield 6 outperformed Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and EA Sports FC 26 in premium sales, though the Call of Duty figure is skewed by its inclusion in the Xbox Game Pass subscription service.
