Over on the PlayStation Blog this morning, Sony Interactive Entertainment boss Jim Ryan ran down the top 10 most-played PS5 games from the console’s first year. Fortnite, a free-to-play game and one of the buzziest digital social spaces on the planet, took the top spot. But there are some other surprises. Here’s the full list:

• Fortnite
• Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
• FIFA 21
• NBA 2K21
• Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
• Destiny 2
• MLB The Show 21
• Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
• Demon’s Souls
• NBA 2K22

Open world games are ass
They need exclusives that vary In more genres

Some caveats: The ranking is based on cumulative hours played across the playerbase, not on total number of players. (According to Ryan, PS5 players clocked a cumulative 4.6 billion hours.)

Aka single player games don’t get as much play time as online multiplayer games

First party games they got out are some niche shyt. It's not surprising.


It's crazy 2k22 on there though. Hasn't even been 3 months.

2k is good this year. And yeah most people don’t care to play single player games.

It's not even that they're single player. Ratchet? And whatever the space game is called, people ain't hyped for them like that.
