US game signatures reached a record profit of $ 600 million

Hours behind came sales data for games, consoles, accessories and services of May in the US, with Elden Ring: Nightreign being the highlight of the month, followed by Doom: The Dark AGES.

Analyst Mat Piscatella also provided important details about subscription services in the US. According to the data, the US signatures reached a record profit of $ 600 million.

Platforms/Services such as Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Plus and game streaming services were the main drivers of this increase.

“US consumer spending on game signatures reached a monthly historical record in May 2025 ($ 0.6 billion), marking the third consecutive month of growth.”

“It seems that the pressures caused by higher prices in everyday categories, such as food, as well as general economic uncertainty, are leading people to look more cost-effective.”

It is noteworthy that the subscription category includes not only the Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Plus and similar services, but also services involving World of Warcraft and other MMOs with a similar distribution model.

In the same publication, Mat Piscatella noted that the biggest threat to the industry is not the signatures, but games as a service.
