PlayStation Store: The best-selling games in 2021

Sony Interactive has published the list of the most successful PS4 and PS5 titles on the PlayStation Store – with some surprise.

At the beginning of the year, Sony Interactive traditionally grants an insight into the List of those games, which led to the most purchases and downloads in the official PlayStation Store in the past season – broken down by USA / Canada and Europe as well as by platforms (PS4, PS5, PlayStation VR).

Remarkable: In the top 10 of the PlayStation 5 there are four innovations from Electronic Arts – in addition to FIFA 22 and FIFA 21 have themselves too Battlefield 2042 and the award-winning ‘secret tip’ It Takes Two placed in the top group.

The list also has some surprises in store: This is how the highly acclaimed PS5 exclusive title lies Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart in Europe only in 14th place – in North America at least in 6th place. In contrast, the action adventure, which was only released in September, makes it Kena: Bridge of Spirits in 7th place. Most successful Sony title: the launch game Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

In general, buyer behavior in the USA / Canada differs significantly from that in Europe. On one point, however, all PS5 owners agree: Sports games are extremely popular on both sides of the Atlantic. Ranks # 1 in North America NBA 2K22, followed by Madden NFL 22 (4th place) and MLB The Show 21 (8th place).

The top 20 PlayStation 4 games in Europe is also awarded by FIFA 22 cited. In second place: Rockstars long-running hits Grand Theft Auto 5, which has been on the market since 2013 and will soon appear for the third generation of consoles in a row.
