Other titles like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, The Last of Us: Part II, The Elder Scrolls: Online, and Hogwarts Legacy re-entered the list, likely benefiting from recent platform releases or related media adaptations.
The arrival of Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5 contributed to their rise in sales rankings.
