Jedi and zombies are in right now.

blog.playstation.com

It’s time to see which top downloads for PS5, PS4, PS VR2, PSVR, and free-to-play were showered with the most downloads to make the list this month. The U.S. and EU PS5 charts shared the same frontrunners, while the PS4 charts had a surprising first-place winner across the board. PS VR 2 charts saw a lot of movement across genres in both regions.

MLB going multiplatform was such a good break for MS, that is pretty much a game only relevant in their strongest market (where they still need all the help they can get). On Europe it's like it doesn't eve exist.

 

[ElCapitano]

The Last Of Us Part 2 again with the crazy legs.

Topping multiple months on PS4 for most sold this year.

 

[Bryank75]

For some reason the chart for Europe always hurts me... GTAV, Fifa, COD. Ugh!

On Europe it's like it doesn't eve exist.

Yep, Europe don't care about MLB or Madden. Baseball and Amarican Football aren't that popular here. Here the most popular sport by far is football/soccer.

 

[Kokoloko]

The Last Of Us Part 2 again with the crazy legs.

Topping multiple months on PS4 for most sold this year.

I wonder why its not in the PS5 list. Mortal Kombat 11 is?

 

[kyliethicc]

I wonder why its not in the PS5 list. Mortal Kombat 11 is?

its a PS4 game

MK11 has a PS5 port

 

[Gods&Monsters]

I wonder why its not in the PS5 list. Mortal Kombat 11 is?

They are buying the PS4 version but the vast majority is playing on PS5.

Yep, Europe don't care about MLB or Madden. Baseball and Amarican Football aren't that popular here. Here the most popular sport by far is football/soccer.

I've heard baseball is popular in Japan, but don't know if they care about the mlb.

 

[kyliethicc]

no the charts are not about the consoles

the charts are for the game versions

so this month the PS5 version of MK11 charted. regardless of on what console

 

[Yurinka]

I've heard baseball is popular in Japan, but don't know if they care about the mlb.

I think that outside USA, Baseball is very popular in Japan or Cuba but they only care about the one in their country.

Regarding videogames, in Japan they have a popular Konami baseball game series with Japanese teams, they don't buy MLB there.

 

[Yurinka]

I wonder why its not in the PS5 list. Mortal Kombat 11 is?

Maybe like in the case of TLOU2, Mortal Kombat 11 doesn't have a PS5 version.

So the PS5 users buy the PS4 versions of these games and these sales are counted only for the PS4 ranking, not in the PS5 ranking.

Because the ranking counts the version of the game (PS4 or PS5), not in which console has been bought.

Lol the EU charts are horrible, just filled with casual games the entire way. But I guess that's the reality of console gaming, it's just EA,Acti,Ubisoft land.

 

[ElCapitano]

TLOU2 cant be on the PS5 list as there is only a PS4 Version of the game.
