Last month didn't exactly have much to talk about in terms of new game releases, meaning the online service games that most people play jumped to the top of the PlayStation Store sales charts. They always hover around the top five, but now they're chart-toppers. Case in point is FIFA 21, which was the best-selling PS5 game across July 2021 in both the EU and US/Canada regions. Not far behind are F1 2021 in Europe, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales for both territories, and then Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart in the US/Canada.
Moving on to PS4 titles and dedicated single player gamers should look away now. The top five (for both regions) is made up of Grand Theft Auto V, the aforementioned football sim, NBA 2K21, and Minecraft. These are the types of games people buy in their droves nowadays, not the one and done single player campaigns.
The other half-interesting talking point would be that Splitgate is already the most popular free-to-play game. Thanks to an incredibly popular beta, it beat out the likes of Call of Duty: Warzone, Rocket League, and Fortnite to claim top spot.

Great to see Ratchet, Demon Souls, and Returnal all in the top 10 still. F2P is becoming a very interesting aspect to this generation that a lot of people seem to be enjoying. I wonder how Sony is viewing it though? Does F2P take more people away from buying there games or is it opposite?
Shooter and Soccer all the way.... Lol
Two Insomniac titles in the top ten in Europe and NA. That's crazy. I love to see Demon's Souls in the top ten in NA and top 20 in Europe. And Returnal in the top 20 in Europe and NA. All these later comers coming in and start eating big. Word up, son.
It's interesting I was thinking oh look gta cod FIFA etc in top 10 as always makes me sad for gaming, but then I thought if I was a kid growing up now then these are the type of games that would be great especially as I only got a couple of games a year when I was younger as they have replay ability and great for playing with friends, when I was growing up there was no internet so was couch co op which was brilliant but yea it would be interesting to see what percentage of them are under 18 players.
Out of this list literally the only game I own is GTA V.... on PS3. Last FIFA I played was '15.... on Vita, because I exhausted the library at that point.
I'm getting old, the industry is leaving me behind lmao.
@Golem25. Lol dont feel bad. Splitgate is the only game im playing on this list. I just recently played Cold Winter on ps2. Im so far behind i have been circled and passed twice lol
I only own Returnal and Demon Souls from this list.
Borrowed Ratchet and Clank from a friend and glad I did as that was not worth £70. Its pretty, colourful and good example of what the PS5 can do and it had it moments but it was too easy, too short and story was not great.
