GTA 5 continues to be among highest-downloaded games on PS Store in 2023, here are other games that made the lists

GTA 5 was originally released back in 2013, yet it continues to be one of the most downloaded games on the PS Store. It even made a few lists comprising the most downloaded games on that digital storefront in June 2023. The success of this title cannot be understated. Over 180,000,000 copies of it have been sold worldwide across various platforms, making this title the second most-sold video game globally.

Naturally, part of its success has come from the PS Store in recent years. PlayStation has released a few lists mentioning the most downloaded games for the PS4 and PS5 across US/Canada and European markets. GTA 5 is in a good position on all of them. Let's look at its competition for June 2023.
