Sony has announced the most-downloaded games on the PlayStation Store for October 2022, and as confirmed earlier this month, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II has been the biggest winner in a very competitive period. Across the world on both PS5 and PS4, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II has won first place, easily beating EA and Take-Two’s popular sports games along the way.
Modern Warfare II surpassed $1 billion in global sell-through revenue in just its first 10 days of sales, having earned $800 million of that total in just its first three days alone. According to Activision and Sony, it’s the biggest PlayStation Store launch of all time for the COD series.

That doesn’t mean that there haven’t been a few surprises in the battle for second place, as Gotham Knights took silver on PS5 last month. While it received mixed reviews across the board when it debuted, the current-gen console and PC game grabbed second place in the US and Canada, and third place in the European charts.
Cyberpunk 2077’s momentum did dip, but not enough to knock it out of the top ten in any of the listed regions, and A Plague Tale: Requiem had a strong debut in the charts. On the PS4 side, the only other notable debut in the US was Dragon Ball: The Breakers, while European gamers continued to download more sports games, 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and Need for Speed Heat.
In the free-to-play games department, there weren’t any big surprises here either. The October 4 release of Overwatch 2 gave it plenty of time to take the top spot in North America and Europe, while the rest of the list included reliable favorites such as Call of Duty: Warzone, Fortnite, and Apex Legends.
You can see the most-downloaded PSN games for October below, as compiled by Sony and posted on the PlayStation Blog.
