Before we say goodbye to 2025, let’s look back and see what the most downloaded games of the year were. It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Popular sports titles have topped the charts in the US/Canada and Europe with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26 respectively. That GTA V juggernaut found a home on the podium in both regions, with Battlefield 6, arriving in 2025, taking second place in the US. Fortnite took first place among free-to-play games and Beat Saber continues its success on PS VR2.
