SCEA has released the PlayStation Store Chart showing not only the top downloaded games in December 2015, but also the top downloaded games across the entire year. In December 2015, Star Wars Battlefront was the top downloaded PS4 game, but overall, Call of Duty: Black Ops III was the most downloaded PS4 game in 2015.
We’re only a few days into 2016 and already the PSN is experiencing issues. A message on the PlayStation website stated that the PSN would be unavailable between 4:30pm to 5:30pm GMT, but it’s now well past the maintenance window and the network is still down.
Got yourself a new PS4 on Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Sony is holding a free multiplayer weekend this week, giving PS4 owners the ability to play online without the need of a PlayStation Plus subscription. The free multiplayer weekend starts on Friday, 11th December at 12:01 AM Pacific, until Sunday, 13th December, at 11:59 PM Pacific.
Messaging friends on the PlayStation Network is now easier thanks to the newly released PlayStation Messages app on iOS and Android. This new app helps you contact your PSN friends in a quicker, easier way than ever before. The app supports text and voice messages, and also the stickers recently introduced on the PS4.
It’s time for another look at the European PlayStation Store download chart, to see which PS4, PS3 and PS Vita games sold the most digital copies. On the PS4, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection took top spot, beating the previous number 1 Destiny: The Taken King.
Following suit with Europe, SCEA have released the PlayStation Store download chart for September 2015, showing the top downloaded games and content for all PlayStation platforms. The top three PS4 games for September are exactly the same as Europe, with Destiny: The Taken King beating MGSV and FIFA 16.
September 2015 saw many new big games released on the PS4 and PS3, so last month’s top selling PlayStation Store chart comes as no surprise. On the PS4 and PS3, Destiny: The Taken King was the top selling title according to SCEE, followed by FIFA 16 in second on both consoles.
Sony has announced that maintenance is scheduled to take place next week for approximately 2 hours. The PlayStation Network and associated services will be unavailable between 04:30 GMT to 06:30 GMT on October 14th 2015. In North America, this maintenance window falls on October 13th 2015, between 21:30 PDT to October 13, 23:30 PDT.
Sony has released the PlayStation Store Download Charts for July 2015, showing the most downloaded games. July saw a number of new releases for the PS4, with five making the top 10, but Journey was the best selling new release overall, beating God of War III Remastered (3rd place) and Life is Strange (5th place). On the PS3, Minecraft returns to the top of the chart (up from 3rd), and Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars come in 2nd place thanks to the release of Rocket League on PS4.
With a PlayStation Plus subscription, games get 1 GB of cloud storage included in the subscription plan, letting you back up your savedata. The space is sufficient for the PS3 and PS Vita, where savedata is much smaller (usually a few megabytes per game), but the same can’t be said about the PS4. As I recently found out, many PS4 games have far larger data saved, filling up your cloud storage quickly.
