Marvel’s Wolverine was the most downloaded PS5 game on PlayStation Store in the US and Canada in September 2026, with EA Sports FC 27 in second. In Europe the order flipped: FC 27 took #1 and Wolverine #2. Sony published the full charts on the PlayStation Blog on October 22 at 13:00 UTC.
Sony lists four charts (PS5, PS4, PS VR2, free-to-play), each split into US/Canada and EU. The PS5 chart excludes upgrades, and PS VR2 counts only PlayStation Store purchases, not hardware bundles.

What stands out on the September chart
- Wolverine’s launch month. Insomniac’s PS5 exclusive came out on September 15, according to its PlayStation Store page, and topped the US/Canada chart in its first month.
- September’s new releases took over the top 10. The Blood of Dawnwalker (out September 3; #5 US, #3 EU), Onimusha: Way of the Sword (September 4; #7 in both regions), Halloween (September 8; #4 in both) and Control Resonant (September 24; #8 US, #10 EU) all made it. Remedy had already said Control Resonant passed one million sales faster than any of its games.
- Late arrivals still charted. Silent Hill: Townfall (September 24) landed at #15 US and #14 EU, and Minecraft Dungeons II, out September 29, placed #16 in both regions with only two days of sales in the month.
- GTA V hangs on. Rockstar’s 2013 game was #5 on PS5 in Europe and #14 in the US.
- Sports split by region. NBA 2K27, Madden NFL 27, NHL 27 and College Football 27 all made the US/Canada top 10. Europe’s top 10 had only FC 27 and NBA 2K27.
