PS5/PS4: 2025's Top Downloads REVEALED! Call of Duty SHOCKER!

Well, folks, the PlayStation Store download charts for 2025 are in, and they're throwing us a few curveballs. Looks like sports games still reign supreme, but the real shocker is how the latest *Call of Duty* fared. We’re talking about *Call of Duty: Black Ops 7*, which, surprisingly, didn't exactly set the world on fire this year.

PS5/PS4: 2025's Top Downloads REVEALED! Call of Du...

In North America (US and Canada), *NBA 2K26* dribbled its way to the top spot on the PS5 charts. Meanwhile, across the pond in Europe, *EA Sports FC 26* (formerly FIFA, if you're still catching up) took the crown. No surprises there, really. Those franchises are reliable money-makers. But here's the kicker: *Call of Duty: Black Ops 7* landed way down in seventh place in both regions. Ouch. That's a pretty significant drop for a series that usually dominates the sales charts.

Now, *Battlefield 6*, on the other hand, seems to be enjoying a bit of a resurgence. It snagged second place in North America and fifth in Europe. This is interesting, especially considering that Circana had previously reported *Battlefield 6* as the best-selling game *overall* through November 2025. Remember though, this PlayStation Store list only reflects digital downloads and *doesn’t* include physical sales or sales on other platforms like Xbox or PC. So, there's a bit more to the story than just PlayStation downloads.

It's always nice to see some familiar faces making the list too. *Minecraft* is still going strong, proving its enduring appeal. *Helldivers 2* also made the cut, alongside some interesting newcomers. *Arc Raiders*, *Ghost of Yotei*, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, and *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33* all popped up on the North American PS5 list, hinting at some potentially exciting new franchises to watch in the coming years. I haven't had a chance to dive into all of these yet, but *Ghost of Yotei* definitely has my attention with its unique setting.

Don't forget about the PS4! *Red Dead Redemption 2*, released back in 2018, is *still* topping charts. It claimed the No. 1 spot in both North America and Europe. It’s a testament to Rockstar’s quality and the enduring appeal of a great open-world western. And, of course, *Grand Theft Auto 5* continues its reign, placing high on both the PS5 and PS4 lists. It's practically a permanent fixture at this point!

For those rocking the PSVR 2, *Beat Saber* is still the king, repeating its 2024 success as the most-downloaded title in both regions. And *Fortnite*, as always, remains the top free-to-play game, which is no surprise to anyone, really. So, there you have it – a snapshot of what PlayStation gamers were downloading in 2025. It's a mix of the familiar, the surprising, and the potentially exciting, and it'll be interesting to see how these trends evolve in the year to come.
