PlayStation Store July Charts Revealed: Football Titles Dominate Top Spots
Sony has just announced the top-performing games on the PlayStation Store for July, revealing a strong preference for sports titles, particularly those in the football genre, across both North American and European markets. The mid-summer period saw a significant surge in downloads for both American football and European soccer simulations, alongside a mix of new releases and enduring classics.
PS5 Top Downloads
For PlayStation 5 users, the charts showed some interesting differences between regions. In North America, College Football 26 took the top spot, demonstrating the immense anticipation for the return of the popular series. Following closely was the tactical shooter Ready or Not, which also secured the first position in Europe. European players, however, also heavily favored EA Sports FC 25, which landed at number two for them.
Other notable titles making a strong showing on PS5 included the ever-popular Grand Theft Auto V, the upcoming sports title REMATCH, and perennial favorites like NBA 2K25 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. It's also interesting to note the consistent presence of Minecraft and the highly anticipated Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, which appeared high on both regional charts, indicating strong ongoing interest.
PS4 Top Downloads
On the PlayStation 4, classics continued to reign supreme. Rockstar's acclaimed western epic, Red Dead Redemption 2, secured the top spot in both North America and Europe, proving its enduring appeal. Star Wars Battlefront II and Batman: Arkham Knight also performed well, particularly in North America, while The Forest and EA Sports FC 25 were strong contenders in Europe.
Grand Theft Auto V once again showed its immense staying power by appearing high on the PS4 chart as well, alongside other popular titles like Gang Beasts and A Way Out.
PS VR2 Top Downloads
The virtual reality landscape saw some familiar names dominating. Beat Saber, a long-time VR favorite, predictably held the top position in both regions. Other prominent titles for PS VR2 included GORN 2 and Metro Awakening, with Alien: Rogue Incursion VR and Among Us 3D: VR also performing strongly.
Free-to-Play Games (PS5 + PS4)
Unsurprisingly, the free-to-play charts were led by the usual suspects. Fortnite and Roblox took the first two spots across both North America and Europe, showcasing their continued massive player bases. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege X - Free Access and Call of Duty: Warzone also remained highly popular, along with Rocket League and eFootball.
What This Means for Players
The July PS Store charts underscore the consistent popularity of major sports franchises and the enduring appeal of classic, well-established titles like Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2. For players, these charts offer a glimpse into what the wider PlayStation community is currently engaging with. The strong performance of games like College Football 26 and EA Sports FC 25 suggests a vibrant interest in sports simulations, while the steady presence of VR titles like Beat Saber indicates a healthy, albeit niche, market for immersive experiences. Whether you're into competitive sports, tactical shooters, or open-world adventures, the July charts show a diverse range of games capturing players' attention.
