August was a great month for console gamers, with the release of a number of highly anticipated titles. Madden NFL 24 came out on top in the US and Canada, while Grand Theft Auto V led the way in Europe. The PS5 version of Madden NFL 24 broke digital sales records, while Fortnite continued to stay at the top of the download charts across both regions. Firewall Ultra was the most-downloaded game on PSVR 2. It’s clear that sports games still have a huge following, while the long-running franchises like Grand Theft Auto show no signs of slowing down in terms of popularity. With a strong lineup of titles released this month and more to come later this year, the PlayStation 5 is quickly becoming the premier console for gamers everywhere.
