In both the United States and Europe, Monster Hunter: World takes the top spot as the most downloaded game in January. This will come as little surprise; we learned earlier today that the massively successful title is Capcom's fastest selling game ever.
In Europe, Gang Beasts continues to do well, and Horizon: Zero Dawn has shot back up the pack into second place. Dragon Ball FighterZ debuts in 13th, but fares much better on the North American chart, securing second position.
The VR charts for both territories see SUPERHOT VR and Job Simulator exchanging first and second positions. Accounting Plus appears on the US chart, but is nowhere to be found on the European list. Elsewhere, the US PlayStation Blog lists a brand new chart just for free-to-play titles, and topping this chart is - surprise - Fortnite Battle Royale.
You can check out the full details for North America and Europe through their respective links. Did any of your January purchases appear on either chart? Let us know in the comments below.

No surprises with Monster Hunter.
SUPERHOT VR and Job Simulator have been consistently big sellers for PSVR. They must be doing pretty well.
@get2sammyb I'd like to see the percentage of monster Hunter world sales for ps4, it's got to be high considering nearly 2 million on ps4 alone in japan
@MoorePs4 I think it was 70% of retail sales in UK at launch. Something like that.
The ratio will be very high in PS4's favour for sure.
@get2sammyb thanks Sammy, good sales for ps4
Nice to hear it’s picking up more publicity outside of Japan. I had a couple friends tell me about Monster Hunter World which is neat considering they didn’t even know it existed on previous systems.
This went as well as Capcom could have ever hoped for. It sold well enough in Japan, and, more importantly, it established the franchise as a AAA BIG DEAL in Western territories.
They have to be popping champagne over there at Capcom headquarters.
Whoa, that's a big leap from eleventh to second place for Aloy! Sweet!
Do not underestimate the power of Playstation.
As it should.
Looks like that Capcom is doing fine recently, right? With Monster Hunter being a success, Resident Evil 7 did well, only the new Marvel vs Capcom wasn't a success. There is a new Mega Man this year too.
I've been really impressed with MH:W.
@PS_Nation
That cash in Street Fighter game on the Switch did bogglingly well too. Good times for Capcom.
