TrueTrophies: in 2023, the most popular games on PlayStation 5 were Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Fortnite, and GTA 5
This year has been a busy one in the gaming industry, but what have people been playing the most? TrueTrophies has compiled a list of the 100 most popular games on PlayStation 5.
Here's What We Know
Data on games was obtained from 3.2 million active PSN accounts. However, it is also worth noting that only games with trophies are tracked. Although most projects have them, Roblox, for example, does not. And considering that Roblox became the third most popular game on PlayStation in just a week after its release, it should definitely be on the list, but you won't see it here.
Usually, the top spots are occupied by multiplayer games, and this list is no exception. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is on the first place, and Fortnite is on the second. However, the third place went to the single-player Grand Theft Auto V. The fourth place was taken by the multiplayer Fall Guys, and the ever-living Minecraft rounds out the top five.
As for this year's releases, only one game made it into the top ten most popular - Hogwarts Legacy. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 only reached the 18th place. Final Fantasy XVI is at 25, Resident Evil 4 remake is at 26, Diablo IV is at 35, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor climbed to 60th place, and Baldur's Gate 3 is almost at the very bottom - 91st place. Alan Wake 2 is not on the list, but the remaster of the first part took 51st place.
Also, 52 games from the list were available on PlayStation Plus. These are 36 games in PS Plus Extra (for example, Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales) and 16 games from PS Plus Essential (Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War and the aforementioned Alan Wake Remastered).
