Sony have published a list of their most downloaded games from 2019, split between paid-for titles, PSVR games, DLC and free-to-play options.
There are a few perennial favourites returning, along with the annual big hitters like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, that hit the top spot for paid games, closely followed by Minecraft and NBA 2K19. Grand Theft Auto impressively made it up into the number four spot, despite it having been around on one platform or another since before the current gen started.
FIFA 20 was a notable absentee from the list. It seems the yearly updates are taking their toll, with less people purchasing FIFA 20 than Spider-Man, which was still generating sales in the twentieth spot.
Beat Saber, Superhot VR, and Skyrim VR sit pretty atop the PS VR charts, whilst Apex Legends has supplanted Fortnite atop the free-to-play charts. It hasn’t necessarily been played more of course, as many would have already downloaded Fortnite at the begining of it’s meteoric rise to the top.
Speaking of Fortnite, every one of the top 10 most downloaded DLC packs was for Fortnite. It may be free-to-play, but it’s raking in the cash!
