Taking to the PlayStation Blog, Sony has revealed lists of the most downloaded games throughout 2023. The list has been split into several distinct categories across regions, platforms, and even a distinct list for PSVR and PSVR2.

Heading up the list of the most downloaded PS5 games is Hogwarts Legacy in US/Canada, while EU saw EA Sports FC 24, followed by Hogwarts Legacy at second place. A significant portion of the list on the US side is filled with sports games, including Madden NFL 24, NBA 2K24 and MLB The Show 23. Other popular games in the lists include Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and Baldur’s Gate 3.

On the PS4 side of things, the US/Canada list is headed up by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, while EU’s digital downloads were seemingly dominated by EA Sports FC 24. The PS4 list features a bit more diversity, including titles like The Forest, Diablo 4, Red Dead Redemption and its sequel, and even Minecraft.

When it comes to PS VR2 games, Pavlov dominated the download charts in both regions, followed by Beat Saber in US/Canada, and Kayak VR: Mirage in EU. Other titles include The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution, Job Simulator, Pistol Whip, and Moss: Book 2. The original PS VR’s charts were headed up by Beat Saber and Job Simulator, followed by Superhot VR, and other titles including Astro Bot Rescue Mission, and Arizona Sunshine.

Wrapping things up is the free-to-play section for both the PS4 and PS5. Both territories were primarily dominated by three titles: Fortnite, Roblox, and Call of Duty: Warzone. Going further down the list, we get to see games like Overwatch 2, Destiny 2, The Sims 4, Fall Guys, and Apex Legends.
