Between Madden NFL 24, Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, August was a solid month for new titles on PlayStation. But which game came out on top? August's most-downloaded game in the US and Canada on PS5 was Madden NFL 24, as EA's latest chapter in its long-running sports series clinched victory on that platform. In that same region, the most-downloaded PS4 game was Minecraft, while Madden NFL 24 made a last-gen appearance in second place.
Staying in the US and Canada, Firewall Ultra was the most-downloaded game on PSVR 2 and Fortnite continued to stay on top of the download charts. Moving abroad to Europe, the most-downloaded PS5 game wasn't Madden NFL 24 or even From Software's return to mechanized action, but Grand Theft Auto V. The new Madden game actually debuted in 12th place on that list, which isn't too surprising given American football's lack of popularity on that continent, especially with the Rugby World Cup around the corner.
EA announced this week that Madden NFL 24 broke a digital sales record for a single week and that the game also saw more players during its first week versus Madden NFL 23. Xbox and PlayStation players can participate in a free global trial that's available now and ends on September 10. On PS4, Minecraft jumped up to first place in Europe, Firewall Ultra was also the most-downloaded PSVR 2 game in that region, and--surprise--Fortnite was the most-downloaded free-to-play game there as well.
The rest of the lists contain a number of popular games that have had a constant presence on the charts, which you can see below.
