For PS4 games, the US/Canada charts highlighted Red Dead Redemption 2, EA Sports FC 27, and Call of Duty: Black Ops III as top titles, while the EU rankings included Red Dead Redemption 2, Batman: Arkham Knight, and Gang Beasts. The PlayStation Store notes that product names may differ between regions, and upgrades or games bundled with hardware are not included in these charts.
PS VR2 games also contributed to the download charts, with I Am Cat and Horizon Call of the Mountain leading the US/Canada rankings, while the EU markets saw Beat Saber and Pavlov at the top. The PlayStation Store specifies that these are purchases made through the PlayStation Store only, excluding game upgrades or hardware bundles.
Free-to-play games were also tracked, with Call of Duty: Warzone, Aniimo, and Once Human appearing prominently in both US and EU markets. The list includes titles like Fortnite, Marvel Rivals, and Rocket League, with regional variations in their rankings.
The PlayStation Store's September 2026 download charts provide a snapshot of player activity across multiple platforms, emphasizing the popularity of specific titles in different regions. The data reflects the current state of game downloads without indicating future trends or market impacts.
Sony's chart is split by region and product category, which is essential for interpreting its rankings. PS5 paid downloads, PS4 downloads, PS VR2 games and free-to-play games are counted in separate lists. A high placement means a title ranked strongly in that particular PlayStation Store download category; it is not a worldwide sales total, a simultaneous-player count or a measure of critical reception. Differences between the US/Canada and European lists can be described accurately without suggesting a single global winner.
The publication also excludes certain types of transactions, including upgrades and hardware bundles. Those rules help explain why its numbers cannot be directly compared with a publisher's all-platform sales announcement. September rankings are a historical snapshot and may also reflect the timing of releases during that month. Readers who want to examine the full ordering can follow the PlayStation Blog source table and compare each region independently rather than rely on a handful of headline entries.
