A new report reveals PlayStation's top 10 most-played games of 2023, which don't include any first-party titles unlike other platforms.


:wow:

  • Third-party games like Fortnite, GTA 5, and Call of Duty are the most popular on PlayStation.
  • Sony's PlayStation Studios produce high-quality games, but they don't crack the rankings for most-played games on the platform.
  • Established live-service titles like Fortnite and Rocket League dominate MAU charts across platforms.



Unlike the Xbox and Switch, PlayStation's top 10 games ranked by average monthly active users (MAU) don't contain any first-party titles. Most of the slots on PlayStation, as well as on other platforms, are taken up by industry titans like Fortnite, Grand Theft Auto 5, and Modern Warfare 3.

Compare story-driven games with 30-40 hour playtime to open-ended games with infinite playtimes, brehs.

:snooze:

On SonySide, we have the best of both worlds: industry leading first party narrative games and industry-leading third party battle games. TrashBox just has the latter.

:snooze: again

This has ALWAYS been the case traditionally on PlayStation consoles.

Outside of GT, Sony almost never had genre king titles they made themselves.

The most continuous reason to buy Playstations has been, it's the platform with the best odds of 3P support coverage.

This really only changed with the ps3 gen and the loss of Sony's defacto 3P exclusives, and the importance of first party exclusives, which one title did so, which was TLOU.

Ueda titles could be considered genre kings for games as art ish, but there's too much competition from indies for them to be viable.

If they are a genre king of anything now, it'd be movie/narrative focused games I guess. But Sensua does exist tho.

Microsoft did and now does have a genre king.

First it was Halo for 1st person console shooters, which lost that title years ago to COD which microsoft now owns so they're back where they started.

Nintendo has quite a few; Mario Kart, Mario platformers, Zelda(newly recrowned)for action adventure, Pokemon for monster collecting and jrpgs, Fire Emblem for srpgs, Smash for Platform fighters and Animal Crossing for simulation titles.

So it's not surprising the most played falls where they do.

Unfortunately this logic won't be supported by the OP because it's a logical answer to a troll post, but I agree with you.

If Spiderman 2 released earlier in the year it would be there, just like Starfield was for X-Box.

Otherwise this thread is telling on x-bots as it just underlines how popular the PS5 is that everyone and their mother plays their third-party games on PS5.

Imagine this article being made in 2002 hot off the heels of 2001.

The most popular PS2 games aren’t even made by Sony! The most popular games are GTAIII, FFX, MGS2, SSX Tricky, Jak and Daxter, Tekken Tag, Devil May Cry, Virtua Fighter 4, and Onimusha. Barely any of them are first party. Take that, Sony!

Maybe Sony should just start buying up already well established third party publishers since their first party games never end up worth a shyt.

Wait…

Isn't this skewed by online games?

To my understanding, Sony's bread and butter has always been:

Narrative-driven, single-player first-party games (last of us, God of War)

And

All the hottest 3rd party games, guaranteed.

Sony consoles have the power to run high quality AAA games, and also have connections to have exclusive timed Japanese titles like Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid in the past.

That's always been the allure of a Sony console. You get all the blockbuster online games, and also the "premium" high quality games
