As September comes to a close, we get a brief glimpse of the games that found success on the PlayStation platform this past month. While NBA 2K22 topped the charts as to be expected with the massive international appeal of basketball. There were still plenty of interesting surprises to be found through the lists of PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and of course free-to-play games downloaded across both consoles.
Kena: Bridge Of Spirits Hits Home
Perhaps one of the biggest surprises this month was Kena: Bridge of Spirits the first game from Ember Labs studio taking the number one spot on the EU PS5 list. A new charming game from an unproven studio overtaking a juggernaut like NBA 2K22 is incredibly impressive. Ember Labs is undoubtedly happy with these results while also netting a top 5 position on the North American chart as well. Deathloop the new IP from Arkane Lyon also did well this month, as it tracked the #2 spot on the North American charts, while it tracked at the #4 spot in the EU. These represented two of PlayStations big marketed games for the month of September, it is great to see them both succeed. Especially with both of them being new IPs which is something the industry needs to see more of.
Another interesting point of data is how Director’s Cuts of games appear to be a resounding success with PlayStation players. As Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding charted in the top 10 of both North America and the EU. This shows that PlayStation 5 owners are definitely interested in seeing upgraded versions of their favorite PlayStation 4 titles. It will be interesting to see what could potentially happen if a The Last of Us Part II Directors Cut were to ever happen. But without further ado here is the rest of the PlayStation download charts for the month of September.
