In its blog, Sony published a list of the most popular downloaded games on its PS4, PS5, and PS VR consoles for October 2024. The list is dominated by projects like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO, and SILENT HILL 2 Remake.

Sony grouped the download rankings from the previous month into several categories, so it was possible to track which games on which platform were most in demand among players. Additionally, the columns were divided into two parts: the left shows the game rankings in the US/Canada region, and on the right — Europe.

PS5 Games

On PlayStation 5 in the United States and Canada, the most popular titles for October were Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO, Undisputed, SILENT HILL 2 (Remake), and EA SPORTS Madden NFL 25.

In Europe, the situation is similar, but with some differences. The football simulator from EA SPORTS FC 25 turned out to be more popular than the boxing game Undisputed. The same applies to Madden NFL 25, replaced by GTA V in Europe, as hockey is a far less popular sport for the local population.

PS4 Games

On PlayStation 4, a mostly different set of games make up October's popular titles. However, in the American region, Black Ops 6 is equally prominent, while in Europe, it ranks second, yielding only to FC25.

Among other projects that can be noted are Minecraft, Red Dead Redemption 2, Batman: Arkham Knight, The Forest, Grand Theft Auto V, Dying Light, which remain popular in both regions but with somewhat different positioning in the rankings.

Thus, among the most downloaded in October 2024 remain games from previous generations that perform well on PS4 and have their fan base. Meanwhile, newer generation games do not appear in the list.

PS VR2 Games

In the top PS VR2 games, titles like Arizona Sunshine Remake lead the list, occupying the first place in both Europe and America; Beat Saber, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, Grand Rush VR Highway Car Traffic Racing Simulator, and the new Metro Awakening follow.

PS VR Games

In the list of games for the previous generation of Sony's virtual reality headset, top downloads include ASTRO BOT Rescue Mission, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR, The Walking Dead Onslaught, Batman: Arkham VR, Job Simulator, and Beat Saber. These titles are entirely different from those played on PS VR2.

Free-to-Play Games (PS4+PS5)

Free-to-Play games available on PS4 and PS5 consoles were combined into a single group, with fairly predictable results. Among the most popular downloads on PlayStation in October 2024 were Fortnite, Roblox, Call of Duty: Warzone, Rocket League, and Asphalt Legends Unite.

According to the list, they rank equally in both regions. However, it was unexpected to see THRONE AND LIBERTY take the top spot in the chart, surpassing the mega-popular Fortnite.
