The PlayStation Blog has revealed the most downloaded games on the PlayStation Store for 2023. The lists show the most downloaded PS5, PS4, PSVR2 and PSVR games.
The most downloaded PlayStation games probably won’t come as much of a surprise. Games at the top of the lists include popular titles like Hogwarts Legacy, EA Sports FC 24, Modern Warfare 3 and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
In the US and Canada Hogwarts Legacy was the most downloaded PS5 game. Whereas in Europe EA Sports FC was the most popular game to be bought for PS5. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was the third most downloaded PS5 game in the US but was only the fifth most downloaded game in Europe. Spider-Man 2 has proved popular amongst physical game buyers in the UK though, remaining strong in the UK PS5 boxed chart since its launch in October last year.
For PS4 games, EA Sports FC 24 topped the most-downloaded games list in Europe. In the US and Canada, Modern Warfare 3 was the top download of last year on PS4. Hogwarts Legacy’s PS4 version also faired well in the US to become the second most downloaded PS4 game.
As for PSVR2 downloads, the online VR shooter Pavlov was the most downloaded game in both the US and Europe. Pavlov is a great game and is probably still one of the best PSVR2 multiplayer shooters there is. You can read my Pavlov review here.
Beat Saber was another popular PSVR2 download last year. The lightsaber rhythm game was the second most downloaded in the US and third in Europe. Kayak VR Mirage, which I didn’t enjoy that much was the second most downloaded in Europe and third in the US.
