Xbox suffers a brutal 69% drop in Pornhub traffic as PlayStation dominates

[midian182]

WTF?! Popular adult-entertainment platform Pornhub has released its usual year-in-review report. Among the details of what categories fans are searching for is the usual information about the devices they used. It seems 2025 was a bad year for Xbox, which saw its overall share of video-console traffic drop a surprisingly apt 69% to just 2%. PlayStation, meanwhile, took the remaining 98%.

Pornhub's ever-interesting year-in-review shows that phones continue to make up the overwhelming majority of traffic to the platform – 87% – despite falling 3.5% compared to the previous year.

There was a 36% increase in the number of desktop-based visitors in 2025 for an 11% overall share. And while tablet visitors increased by 31%, they still made up just 2% of overall traffic.

Android was the most popular mobile operating system (67.7%) among visitors, more than double the iOS traffic (33.1%).

On desktop, Windows was the most popular OS by far (70.5%), followed by MacOS (20.3%) and Linux (6.3%). While three of those operating systems saw their desktop traffic shares decline or stay unchanged in 2025, Linux increased a massive 22.4% – could this be from Steam Deck users taking a relaxing break between gaming sessions?

Chrome remains the most popular browser in terms of Pornhub traffic (56.9%). Privacy-focused browsers Opera and Firefox have smaller shares – 7% and 8.4%, respectively – but their numbers saw a big bump in 2025. The largest increase actually came from the Meta Quest – virtual reality content was particularly popular among Gen Z's 18-24 demographic.

Pornhub also reveals its traffic from game consoles. It's yet another area where Xbox is floundering in the face of PlayStation. Visitors using Microsoft's console were down 69% this year, ironically, dropping the overall share to just 2%. Meanwhile, 32% of game console traffic was from PlayStation 4 owners, and 66% was from the PlayStation 5.

While Microsoft isn't going to be concerned that fewer Xbox owners are visiting Pornhub, 2025 has been a rough year for the brand. The hiking of prices for both the consoles and Xbox Game Pass angered a lot of fans. There have also been some high-profile cancellations of first-party games, poor hardware sales, and general uncertainty about the consoles' future.

Xbox as a console is probably dead.

Xbox will live on, on Windows.

Next "Xbox" will be a PC running Windows, probably not even made by Microsoft but outsourced, like Asus Ally.

Even Microsoft, don't want to sell Xbox on their homepage. Can't expect stores to do it then.

Xbox has been about Game Pass Subscription for years. They don't care about the hardware part.

Nobody going to highlight the drop in porn traffic is a nice 69%?

 

[PXAbstraction]

Hang on, people are loading up web browsers on their consoles to watch porn? Hell, to do anything at all? As someone who tried to use the web on a console for about 5 minutes once before almost throwing my controller at the screen, I can't imagine that. To quote Blizzard "Do you people not have phones?"

I'm kinda surprised to see ps5 numbers, I don't remember it having a browser in the first place......

 

[magoid]

Well, now I will think twice before using a friend's controller to play local multiplayer games...

 

[RudyBob]

Why is less PORN brutal?

At its core this is an attempt to rise demographics. By restricting porn.

Changing laws back to when it wasn’t a crime to tell a girl she has a nice *** would be much more effective but they will all die out by the time this idea comes up there.

It stood out to me that Mac and even more so Linux users visit PH more than Windows users based on market share for the OSes.

Go degenerate America go!

It stood out to me that Mac and even more so Linux users visit PH more than Windows users based on market share for the OSes.

That's likely because Windows dominates the business world, and (hopefully) those are not regularly making PH visits. The percentages would make more sense if it was possible to sort by consumer machines only.

I think its more that there is a substantial number of people who think like this:

Go degenerate America go!

 

[havok585]

Pornhub should go down.

 

[hahahanoobs]

On a console? Wow. So gross.

I think its more that there is a substantial number of people who think like this:

I concur it is. A lot of people can’t stand success of others especially if they are free and good intentioned. However that ideology of Race Theory in addition to laws and culture pushed on Americans when you feel guilty simply by being born white and by desiring woman, adds a lot of pressure to disintegration of society. Demographics off the cliff is a logical response of that. Add to it impossibility to buy a house and ridiculous costs of living and you have a perfect storm.

Unless America returns to mindset of 1940s that is including salaries and prices when people could afford to payout a house in two years and one income was enough for a family of five, of course than billionaires would not exist. But they will not exist anyways if things go the way they are, just way uglier. We need free and proud USA to have Western civilization. Will it happen or not depends on Americans. So far it looks not too happy. Antisemitic communist voted in New York, Democratic party becomes more like Islamic Brotherhood, Republicans thorn between hatered of Israel (a cornerstone of modern civilization at its essence) and hatered of Democrats. So yeah now they ban porn, totally great idea of putting down flames with gasoline.

I've used my Dreamcast to view porn over it's 56k modem...

Not al phones have TV-out(actually most dont have) but the web browsers on all modern consoles can be used with mouse and keyboard, especially on Xbox Series.

 

[Puiu]

Xbox sex toys when?

Go degenerate America go!

Depending on where you check, the USA isn't in the top 5 of pron consuming nations. Those top spots belong to Asia and Europe.
