Sony has published January tops of the most downloaded games on the PlayStation Store. Some places in them were distributed in an unexpected way. But first about the leaders.
Resident Evil 2The American top was headed by Kingdom Hearts III.
Next comes Resident Evil 2. Both are new items released at the end of January. But in Europe, the first was still a survival horror from Capcom, and Kingdom Hearts III turned out to be the sixth in downloads.
Now let’s move on to two curious observations.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is inferior in downloads
The October blockbuster from Rockstar dropped below PUBG and Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII in the American top. In the European chart, the cowboy action movie did not even reach the top ten, freezing at the 17th line.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2 at the time of release was the largest release of the year and the most pre-ordered title in the PS Store.
He became the main sales driver of the publisher Take-Two in the third fiscal quarter. But now the game has given way to titles that came out before it.

Fortnite is no longer the leader in the top free-to-play
In the ranking of the most downloaded freeplay games in the United States, Fortnite unexpectedly came in second place. She was outpaced by another battle royale – Realm Royale from Hi-Rez Studios.
Realm Royale
Last summer, this game was released in early access on Steam (where now no more than 4 thousand users play it at the same time).
It appeared on PS4 in August 2018, but in a closed beta format.
But at the end of January, the developers of Realm Royale announced the launch of OBT. This explains the growth of downloads of the game to such a level that Fortnite itself had to move.
