In a move reminiscent of the United Kingdom’s Entertainment Retailers Association, today PlayStation released their charts for the most downloaded games of 2020. Grand Theft Auto V has demonstrated its staying power, coming to roost as the number two title in the PS4 chart’s US/Canada region and number three in Europe. This year, the charts are split between two regions—US/Canada and Europe —and three categories: PS5 Games, PS4 Games, and PS VR Games. No Rockstar titles make appearances in the other charts due to no titles having been natively released to date on the PS5 and PS VR platforms. https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/1349370811040333827
