There are breakout hits alongside long-tail mainstays, with sports titles, as they always do, lurking at the edges.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you were with the vanguard of one of these new releases or you were immersed in something else at the moment, here are the top seven games downloaded by the more than 100 million users of the PlayStation Network.

The sequel takes the against-all-odds, tactically demanding setup of the first game and applies it in a more engaging and immersive third-person perspective. It\u2019s more than just the most-downloaded PlayStation Network game, it\u2019s also t<a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/helldivers-becomes-sonys-biggest-steam-launch\/\">he biggest-ever Steam launch<\/a> for a Sony-published title.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"MLB The Show 24 - Road to The Show: Women Pave Their Way\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NAb5oEpZ4MM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"MLB The Show 24 - Road to The Show: Women Pave Their Way\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NAb5oEpZ4MM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><strong>MLB The Show 24<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">MLB The Show 24, by SIE San Diego Studio, is a full-service baseball simulation that has been an annual winner among sports fans since its inception more than 15 years ago. That doesn\u2019t mean its makers can rest on their laurels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This year,<a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/new-titles-confirmed-for-xbox-game-pass-march-2024\/\"> MLB The Show 24<\/a> introduces women as playable stars in all modes, making a big play to expand their audience to those fans who have also dreamed about being big leaguers, even knowing they never had a chance at it. Women feature prominently in the Storylines mode that was introduced in 2023, a series of interactive vignettes which tell the lesser-known stories of professional players from baseball\u2019s segregated era. They\u2019re also present for Road to the Show, the game\u2019s real jewel. It\u2019s a rich, vicarious single-player fantasy in which users create their superstar and take them all the way to the Major Leagues.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Dragon&#039;s Dogma 2 - Main Trailer | PS5 Games\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cT0rIgaiPWA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Dragon&#039;s Dogma 2 - Main Trailer | PS5 Games\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cT0rIgaiPWA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><strong>Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/how-to-level-fast-in-dragons-dogma-2\/\">Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2<\/a> is, as the title says, a sequel \u2014 to something published 12 years ago, but never forgotten by its cult audience. This open-world fantasy adventure is not exactly a Soulslike. Still, there\u2019s little wonder that the fandom that has gathered for that sub-genre over the past decade, especially for games like 2022\u2019s Elden Ring, would have a natural and fervent interest in this open-world epic.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Step Into The Story | WWE 2K24 Official Launch Trailer | 2K\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W8SiQKottLo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Step Into The Story | WWE 2K24 Official Launch Trailer | 2K\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W8SiQKottLo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><strong>WWE 2K24<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">WWE 2K24 has a tough task ahead of it every year, which is basically, \u201cHow do you simulate something that is, uh, fake?\u201d Somehow, 2K Sports has pulled it off going back three years, presenting professional wrestling and all of its behind-the-scenes intrigue as movable pieces on a delightful chess board of mayhem, as if it was, ahem, a \u201creal\u201d sport.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The big showpieces this year include <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/40-years-of-wrestlemania-coming-to-wwe-2k24\/\">a 40-year retrospective on Wrestlemania.<\/a>\u00a0MyRise, the created-player career mode, once again delivers two unique storylines whether players choose to play as a female or male superstar.

Thanks to the live service offerings of its Ultimate Team mode, Madden outdrew its basketball brethren in the first month of the sport\u2019s offseason, at least on PlayStation. American football is <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/the-top-10-best-selling-video-games-of-2023\/\">a year-round sport<\/a>, like it or not, and its video game always has something on offer in the Madden Ultimate Team live service suite.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection - Announce Trailer | PS5 &amp; PS4 Games\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1Zko_8h8qzc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection - Announce Trailer | PS5 &amp; PS4 Games\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1Zko_8h8qzc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><strong>Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Few early-aughts console series are as beloved as Battlefront, and when you add the natural appeal of Star Wars, it\u2019s easy to understand why this two-game bundle (comprising 2004\u2019s Battlefront and 2005\u2019s Battlefront II) would be such a hit among nostalgic fans. Both games were brought to modern hardware in 2019 and 2020.
