The PlayStation 5 has turned one year this November. And to celebrate its enormous success, we tell you which have been the 10 most played games on the PS5 so far . Let’s see if you guess the gold medal and find any of your favorite titles in this top 10.
There is no other way to put it, the PlayStation 5 has been an unprecedented triumph. In fact, Sony itself has recognized that it has been the most successful launch in the history of consoles.
And to celebrate its first anniversary, it has provided a series of very curious official data about the platform.
More than 26 million hours of content provided, more than 360 games released and no less than more than 4,600 million hours of game recorded.
And based on those hours, and which games have been spent the most, here are the 10 most played titles on the PS5 in its first year.
10. NBA 2K22
It is undeniable that basketball has its fans and that NBA 2K22 is the ideal option right now to throw some baskets on the PS5.
The game has some very interesting improvements compared to the previous 2K21 version , such as the stamina system that affects the effectiveness of the shot and a very good player customization. Details like these have led to a great reception and have led him to get into the top 10 of the most played.
However, it will not be the only time we talk about the NBA on this list …
9. Demon’s Souls
Bluepoint brings us to the PlayStation 5 this remake of one of its most successful games, Demon’s Souls.
The classic always sells and the truth is that this version makes good use of the resources of the console , so it is not surprising that it has slipped into the ninth position.
The argument does not change, you will have to travel through the kingdom of Boletaria defeating demons and absorbing their souls, to finally face the powerful King Allant.
8. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
That Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the best superhero movie Marvel has made is something I will defend to legions of Inifnity War and Endgame fans .
If it even has an Oscar for best animated film, although it is true that, sometimes, that is not saying much.
Such a movie deserved a game to match and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is that game, rising to number 8 among those that have occupied the most hours.
7. MLB The Show 21
Driven above all by the enormous love of baseball in the United States and Japan, MLB The Show 21 takes the number 7 spot in terms of hours of play on the PS5.
There is no color, if you like this sport, this is the best option . In addition, this version allows you to build your own stadium as you wish. It’s not Minecraft , but it has its thing.
6. Destiny 2: Beyond Light
Lovers of science fiction are many and powerful, which has made Destiny 2 , from Bungie Studios , the sixth most played on the PS5.
Create your guardian, equip him with the best weapons and armor and fight alongside millions of other players … or against them in this massively multiplayer .
It is true that it is quite similar to the original Destiny , but the improvements are worth it and, the truth, it is one of the most outstanding first person shooter games. It deserves this number 6.
5. Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla
It was inevitable that Assassin’s Creed would appear somewhere and it does so in the middle of the table. Its Valhalla incarnation has been the fifth most played game on PlayStation 5 this past year.
We don’t think there is a need to tell you what it is about, but just in case. In this title, you play Eivor, a Viking who leads his hosts against the kingdoms of old England, and Alfred the Great , a real historical figure, named precisely because of his resistance to the Nordic invaders.
More enemies than ever, assaults, settlements, naval battles … If you like the Assassin’s Creed saga , Valhalla has it all, also boosted by the success of television series like Vikings and the possibility of resembling Ragnar Lodbrok a bit.
4. NBA 2K21
Yes, NBA 2K22 is something better, but its version of 2K21 has been much more played , so much so that it almost reaches the podium on the list.
Either because of the older game or because it is difficult to leave old vices behind, the reality is that the veteran has beaten the new candidate.
3. FIFA 21
The bronze medal is, of course, for football and for FIFA 21. Simply, no one can cough up the undisputed leader.
No less than 12 game modes for you to enjoy your favorite sport as you want. From having a party, to showing what all Spaniards believe, that we are better coaches than those who charge so many millions for nothing.
Ah, well, yes, and that FIFA 21 does not cause the nightmares of Pro Evolution Soccer with the deformed faces of Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, but the less we talk about that matter, the better …
Sorry, I couldn’t help it.
2. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
First person shooter games won’t die. For this reason, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is the title that sets the standard for this genre at number 2 of the most played.
In this case, Call of Duty points to the fashion of 80s nostalgia that series like Stranger Things inaugurated , so it takes us back to the Cold War at that time.
We will have the mission to stop an extremist group from the former Soviet Union, but also to blow up the rest of millions of players . So many, that almost make this title the most played on the PS5 so far.
And of course, don’t worry, it has a zombie mode.
1. Fortnite
There can only be one left who stands victorious and there are no friends here. And how could it be otherwise, that place is for the title that popularized precisely that game mode.
Fortnite lives up to its style and charges everyone else in the competition. In fact, PlayStation has not officially commented on how many hours of play each member of this list has had, but we intuit that Fortnite takes a distance from the second.
Its season system, and its innumerable game modes, make sure that interest is not lost and we do not take control of the hand, it is what it is. Of course, we will see if it is enough to also raise the cup next year or, finally, Fortnite will become the dethroned king.
As you can see, there are not many surprises on the podium, but we are not going to say that they do not deserve the position. Be that as it may, PlayStation 5 continues to accumulate millions and millions of hours in front of the screen and this Top 10 of the most played houses some titles that are already legend.
