O'Dell Harmon Jr. writes: "Before we say goodbye to 2025, let’s take a look back and see what were the most downloaded games of the year. It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Sports favorites topped the charts in US/Canada and EU, with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26, respectively.
Juggernaut GTA V found a home in the top three for both regions, with new 2025 release Battlefield 6 claiming second place in the US. Fortnite took top place for free-to-play games, and Beat Saber continues its PS VR2 success."
I think it shows how shortsighted it was for Sony to let go of Evolution and not get them to make some sort of competitor (open world Driveclub?) 10 years ago.
After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.
It’s funny to watch the only games EU and USA agree on was Minecraft and back ops 7 both regions on 6 and 7 spot respectively other than that FIFA rules EU

I would like to see a list that has both free to play and paid games together, but at least we have this.
To this day GTA5 is a top downloaded game and it makes me wonder if the industry is really ready for GTA6. I imagine almost nothing else will sell during that game's release window.
Valve says earning a "Steam Machine Verified" badge will face fewer requirements than on the Steam Deck.
Just offer us an option to block specific publishers, and other spam-crap in the store.
Steam reaches a new milestone with over 42 million concurrent users, setting a record peak in early 2026 and reinforcing its dominance in PC gaming.
Phil Harrison - "We are winning the games message"
Apparently Phil still thinks his HQ is in Tokyo.
They, Microsoft, have shown some great games at launch and for the first year or so.
edit: as far as winning the message, not on this website.
The X1 does have a better launch lineup on games. Their games won way more awards than PS4 games. I'll get the PS4 in spring 2014. Maybe they'll have a better selection by then.
I still can't believe that Sony's selling us the co-op of KZ SF as DLC... What is this industry coming to man? 0___0
And the fact that MS believes that the future is DRM is kind of scary too. People can't lower their guard on this stuff! They need to learn from Steam ad realize that digital content should be cheaper, especially with such draconian DRM that they wanted to implement.
DRM is the future. Ull see
