Top PS5 and PS4 Games of 2025: A Look at the Most Downloaded Titles (2026)

The gaming world witnessed some surprising shifts in 2025! The PlayStation Store download charts for both the PS5 and PS4 revealed a year dominated by sports titles, with a few unexpected twists. Let's dive in!

In North America and Canada, NBA 2K26 took the crown, while EA Sports FC 26 led the charge in Europe. This marks a significant change, especially considering the performance of the Call of Duty franchise.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 didn't quite hit the mark, landing at No. 7 in both regions. This is a stark contrast to its predecessor, Black Ops 6, which topped the charts in 2024.

But here's where it gets interesting: Battlefield 6 performed exceptionally well, securing the No. 2 spot in North America and No. 5 in Europe. This success aligns with Circana's data, which showed Battlefield 6 as the best-selling game of the year through November 2025. However, it's crucial to remember that this download list only reflects PlayStation Store purchases, not sales across other platforms like Xbox or PC.

The lists also featured familiar favorites like Minecraft and Helldivers 2, alongside newcomers such as Arc Raiders, Ghost of Yotei, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which made their mark in North America.

On the PS4 front, Red Dead Redemption 2 continued its reign, topping the charts in both territories. The game's enduring popularity, along with Grand Theft Auto 5, is a testament to their lasting appeal.

For PSVR 2 games, Beat Saber maintained its dominance, repeating its 2024 wins in both regions. And, as expected, Fortnite remained the champion in the free-to-play category, securing the top spot once again.
