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.
