Sony reveals top downloaded PlayStation Store games of 2022

Fans of comparison charts, rejoice! Sony has released its annual PlayStation Store Top Downloads list, revealing exactly which punters in the US, Canada and Europe are settling on their PS4 and PlayStation 5 hard drives in 2022.

Unsurprisingly, FIFA once again dominated Europe, with FIFA 23 securing pole position on both consoles. In the US and Canada, however, the big balls have been swapped for big guns, as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 took the lead on both platforms.

God of War Ragnarök was also, unsurprisingly, a big winner on PlayStation 5, being the third biggest download of 2022 in Europe (after Modern Warfare 2) and the second biggest download in the US/Canada. However, it was way down the PS4 list, earning #9 in the US/Canada and #15 in Europe.

Elsewhere, Sony’s list of the most downloaded PSVR titles of 2022 shares a top three across all territories, with Beat Saber leading the way, followed by Job Simulator, then Superhot VR.
