Call of Duty: WWII and Destiny 2 Top the Most Downloaded PlayStation Games in 2017

Sony had a bit of fun on the PlayStation Blog today, revealing the most downloaded PlayStation games in 2017, along with a few other categories, like which themes were the post popular. There are definitely some interesting trends to note in these statistics.

Activision had a strong year, and despite releasing in the latter half of 2017, managed to take the top two spots with Call of Duty WWII and Destiny 2. Grand Theft Auto V remains as popular as ever, and Friday the 13th somehow managed to crack the top three most downloaded PS4 games of 2017.

Five out of the ten most downloaded add-ons were for Call of Duty, really highlighting the strength of the series. The most downloaded theme was the Legacy Dashboard Theme that recreates the PS2 dashboard with surprising accuracy. It was followed by a Friday the 13th theme, yet another surprising showcase of how popular that game was.

PlayStation VR’s most downloaded titles largely came from releases that have been out for a while, but Skyrim VR came in with fury and managed to rank at number six, despite being released at the end of November. Star Wars: Battlefront II made one of the lists, but not the one you may think. The classic 2005 Battlefront II game was the ninth most downloaded game on Vita (the 2009 PSP re-release). It’s also interesting to note that Sony left off stats for the PS3 downloads in 2017.

You can check out the full lists of all of the categories below. Remember that these stats are based strictly on downloads from the PlayStation Store, not on revenue.
