The PlayStation Store’s October 2024 Downloads: A Cheeky Analysis
So, folks, it’s that time of year again: the PlayStation Store has unveiled its most downloaded and purchased games for October 2024, and surprise!—Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is back to break records and maybe a few controllers as well. What is it with that franchise? It’s like the cockroach of the gaming world—no matter how many times you stomp it, it just keeps coming back!
Let’s take a look at the numbers: up top, we’ve got the Activision heavyweight flexing its muscles across both Europe and North America, dominating the charts like a kid at a software fair. It sits snugly at the number one spot for PS5 games, while in North America’s PS4 category, it shows that age is just a number. Meanwhile, the European PS4 crowd has decided to play nice with EA Sports FC 25, which is just a fancy way of saying, “we are too mature for shooting games.”

Not to be outdone, our beloved Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero! managed to snag the second spot in both regions.

It’s a love-hate relationship where parents loathe the dancing but secretly want to join in.
