In this list, you will find the top downloads of the PlayStation Store from March 2024. A currently popular game even reaches number 1 in Europe and the USA.
What kind of list is this? Every month, a large number of PS5 games are bought and downloaded directly from the PS Store. In this list, you will find the top 5 downloads from Europe in March 2024. The store recently announced this itself (via blog.de.playstation.com).
Rank 1: HELLDIVERS 2
This year, the cooperative third-person shooter was released, but it quickly became a very popular game, especially among shooter fans.
The popularity of Helldivers 2 is now evidenced by its number one spot among the top downloads of PS5 games. The shooter claims this spot not only in Europe but also in the USA and Canada.
In Helldivers 2, you embark on various missions with 3 other players and thus become an important part of an intergalactic battle against the threat posed by hostile aliens. With this concept and the intense cooperation among players, Helldivers 2 has convinced many players. Even dedicated PvP fans realized how beneficial this gaming experience is for them.
Rank 2: EA SPORTS FC 24
This game series has been captivating several generations of soccer fans worldwide since 1993. Until 2023, it was released under the name FIFA, and it is a game series that almost everyone knows and possibly everyone has played at some point.
EA FC 24 made it to the number 2 spot in March 2024 for top downloads in Europe. Since the end of the month, you can get the Ultimate Edition in the PS Store for €43.99 instead of the full €109.00. This could be a good reason for the high download numbers in March. Perhaps the upcoming EM also plays a significant role.
Currently, there are already a few leaks about the big “Team of the Season” event that is set to start in the game soon.
Rank 3: Dragon’s Dogma 2
The fantasy action RPG Dragon’s Dogma 2 was released on March 22, 2024, but within this short time frame, it has been downloaded enough times to reach the third place on this list.
Even before release, the game was highly hyped and praised for its unique character creator. So, it is not surprising that it ranks so high on this list.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the sequel to a role-playing game from 2012 and takes place in a fantasy parallel world to the first part. In this single-player game, you assume the role of an Arisen and explore the open world with your AI-controlled companions, full of various villages and towns. You will need to fight against nasty monsters and dragons, for which you have many classes available to find your own play style.
Rank 4: Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
The tactical shooter Rainbow Six: Siege recorded a new peak in active players on Steam in March 2024. The placement in this list shows that PS5 users have not given up on the game even after over 8 years.
One reason for the rising numbers could be the new season, which started on March 12, 2024, bringing fresh content and updates to the shooter.
Rainbow Six: Siege is a team shooter where two teams of 5 players compete against each other. One team takes on the role of attackers, while the other team attempts to defend. The battles take place on various maps, which can range from different buildings to airplanes.
Rank 5: Rise of the Ronin
The action role-playing game Rise of the Ronin was also released on March 22, 2024, and still made it to the fifth place among the most downloaded PS5 games in the PS Store. As this is a PlayStation exclusive title, interested players were of course reliant on this console, which could explain the high ranking.
As a player, you take on the role of a samurai, and although it may remind you of Souls games, Rise of the Ronin is not a classic Soulslike. Instead, fans of the genre, as well as story fans, will find something to enjoy. The game offers various difficulty levels and a dynamic story that the player controls. For example, you can decide whether to let a character live or not, thereby influencing the course of the story.
