Gran Turismo 7 was Sony’s biggest release in March 2022, but despite releasing at the start of the month, the game failed to take the top spot on the PlayStation Store download chart in the US/Canada. The game had slightly more success in Europe but still had stiff competition from Elden Ring and Grand Theft Auto V.
PlayStation Store Most-Downloaded Games of March 2022 List
As usual, the PlayStation Store download charts for March 2022 are split into PS5 games, PS4 games, PSVR games, and free-to-play (PS5 and PS4). All categories have separate US/Canada and EU lists.
PS5
As well as the success of Elden Ring, Gran Turismo 7, and Grand Theft Auto V, WWE 2K22 also had a solid debut with a top-four position in both regions. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands completed the top five in US/Canada, but the fifth spot went to FIFA 22 in Europe. The other big PlayStation exclusive release for March, Ghostwire: Tokyo, managed to scrape into the top ten in US/Canada but could only manage 16th in Europe. It is placed below Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin in both regions.
