PSN's Most Downloaded Games On PS5, PS4, And PSVR For July Revealed

Sony has released the top download charts for PlayStation Network in July for both North America and Europe, and the top of the charts are dominated by heavy-hitters.

On PS5, EA's FIFA 21 was the most-downloaded game in both North America and Europe. The professional football game was discounted in July in the lead-up to FIFA 22's release and the Euros were taking place that month, two factors that likely led to a surge in interest (and downloads).

Moving to PS4, FIFA 21 was also the most popular game on PSN in Europe during July, though this was not the case in North America. Rockstar's enduringly popular Grand Theft Auto V climbed the charts to become the most downloaded game on PSN in North America for the month. This is not too much of a surprise, as GTA Online's very popular Los Santos Tuners update launched in July.

On the free-to-play charts, the Halo/Portal-inspired shooter Splitgate was No. 1 globally following the launch of its beta at the end of July. In terms of PSVR games, Beat Saber was No. 1 both in North America and Europe. You can see the full charts below, as shared by Sony on the PlayStation Blog.
