PlayStation Releases Top Downloads Of 2021 And Sports Games Lead The Pack

Published

PlayStation has released the top 20 PlayStation 5 downloads and PlayStation 4 downloads of 2021, and as you might expect, sports games took home the platinum trophy. 

On the PS5, NBA 2K22 was the number one most-downloaded PS5 game in the U.S. and Canada in 2021 while in Europe, unsurprisingly, FIFA 22 took the top spot. Call of Duty: Vanguard was the number two game in both regions, which, while not necessarily surprising because Call of Duty games always sell well, it’s pretty wild that a game released in November was the number two most-downloaded game of the entire year. 

Along those same lines, Among Us was the number six most-downloaded game of 2021 in the EU, despite releasing in December.

Here’s a full look at the top 10 PS5 games in the U.S. and Canada region:
