Madden, Fall Guys, Call of Duty, and Ghost of Tsushima top the PS4 charts

September has arrived, and with it the PS Store charts for August. We saw strong placements on the PS4 side from Madden NFL 21, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, Call of Duty, Modern Warfare, and Ghost of Tsushima across the US / Canada and EU regions, while Vader Immortal, Beat Saber, and Job Simulator topped the PS VR list on both sides. Meanwhile, newcomer Hyper Scape shot to the top of the Free-to-Play chart in its debut month — well done!
We’ve already seen some big releases in the first week of September… how do you think this month’s charts will shake out?

I’m kind of surprised Fall Guys was so high in both. These don’t take into account PS+ downloads just sales. So that many people actually bought it in August? In which case, why? It was free and you have to have PS+ to play it so anyone who bought it had the option to get it for free. Quite puzzling.
@MiseryPrincess When you go back and look at prior months you never see that PS Plus games in the charts so that can’t be. Rocket League wasn’t in the charts the month it came out. Sonic Forces was said to be the most claimed PS Plus game prior to Fall Guys and it wasn’t in the charts either. So yeah these charts are strictly sales and not downloads.
Spiderman is a Juggernaut. People excited for Miles Morales are probably buying it.
Tsushima has far exceeded the wildest sales expectations from Sony. Legends should extend sales further. Sony has to capitalize on Ghost the same way they did with HZD. They must promote it heavily on PS5 with impressive technical improvements. Support Legends with new maps and gear, keep this going. Sony extended the sales of Days Gone, HZD, Spiderman, GT Sport, and Uncharted 4 with DLC and numerous free updates. It’s unfortunate that TLoU 2 has fallen off, but i believe a rebranding of the game on PS5 is in store. Perhaps an enhanced edition will release on PS5 featuring mp? It needs a boost. The negative propaganda appears to have impacted the longevity of sales similarly to Death Stranding. Ppl are shameful swines. Death Stranding was a fantastic game that preached love and community yet ppl ripped it. I hope it gets a PS5 revive.
I’m pretty disappointed my PS4 bricked with Tsushima inside so i can no longer play it nor can i access any of my PS4 screen shots. It happened more than two weeks ago and i never finished the sheer masterpiece that is Tsushima. Yes, the game is phenomenal and among the best open world games this gen. Unlike many open world games it ran well and featured absolutely spectacular combat.
The success of Skater XL and Tony Hawk show us how hungry ppl are for a new Skating game. Props to Mortal Shell.
Neil being fired in 5,4…
Old director fired, 5 years in development, 10s of million in costs, no multiplayer, fanbase furiously upset.
Not EVEN in the top 20 2 months later.
Neil isn’t going anywhere LOL. The game sold more in the first three days than any other PlayStation game ever. They made their money back and then some right then and there. Their “fanbase” doesn’t just consist of the small group of babies on the internet like you who haven’t even played the game.
As for the multiplayer they said that was a standalone thing coming later.
^agreed. I thought the game was great. Disagreed with a few story points, but it was still fun to play. Gameplay was improved on and even better in this one.
Strongly agree.Ignore Mercenary09,he’s just butthurt that his beloved tlou2 got bodied by fallguys…🤣🤣🤣 and a two year old game like spider-man😂😂😂.ND fans are crying right now👌😘
Kinda surprised to not see TLOU 2 in the top 20.
Everyone willing to pay full price would have bought it on release, it’s first sale started 2nd September so it may appear on Septembers charts.
Its been out for 3 months now not surprising
Not surprised to see GTA V still in the top 10. I think the rule is: anyone buying a PS4 must also buy GTA V even if they bought it on PS3.
Stop buying Madden!
Seeing people buying Madden no matter the reviews and bug issues you can understand why EA don’t care about quality in this game.
GTA 5 also
Exactly. It’s embarrassing to see it at the top of the US chart. Stupid sheeple.

It’s it “top downloads” not sales?
Good point. Maybe parents bought it for the kids before realizing they have to pony up for PS+ anyways? In which case, they got suckered.

My condolences for your bricked system. That’s gotta suck, man. Good points you made all around. Best of luck with your next system.
