As detailed in the list above, the PS5 top sellers for January 2024 are mostly 2023 games, in addition to the usual recurring free-to-play titles released a few years prior. This should not come as a surprise, as new releases as of January 31, 2024, were rather scarce.

Things started to pick up in February 2024, with back-to-back RPG hits released during the month. A notable exception would be Tekken 8, which has quickly grown to be one of the best-selling games on the console and PC. Tekken 8 is almost unstoppable, and rightfully so.

Either way, the PS5 top sellers are sure to grow in the upcoming months, with blockbuster releases such as Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth heading to the platform.
