Announcing the games to be released on its platform in 2023 last week, PlayStation came up with a brand new list today. Shortly after the company shared the most downloaded games in December, it released the most downloaded games of 2022, which we left behind.
The shared list was divided into PS5 and PS4 games. In addition, separate lists have been prepared for PS VR and free-to-play PlayStation games. Although the majority of the most downloaded games consisted of expected productions, there were some surprises. Let’s take a look at these lists shared by the company together.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and FIFA 23 became the most downloaded games of the year on both PS4 and PS5
First of all, let’s say that the lists are divided into Europe and USA/Canada. The latest game of the legendary series Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2, took the top spot in the USA/Canada section of the PS4 and PS5 list. On the European side, FIFA 23 was at the top of both lists. In the rest of the list, we see successful productions such as God of War: Ragnarök and Elden Ring.
The surprise is on the PS4 list. The new God of War in the USA/Canada and Modern Warfare 2 in Europe take the second place on PS5, while GTA V appears on PS4. This reveals that the production, which was first released in 2013, is still playing at the top. It is also noteworthy that Minecraft ranks third in PS4 downloads in Europe.
When we look at PS VR, Beat Saber is at the top of the list on both sides. In the list of free-to-play games covering both PS4 and PS5, Fall Guys has managed to be the most downloaded production. Without further ado, let’s look at these lists together.
