According to new data from PlayStation, it turns out that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War was extremely popular last year. So popular, in fact, that it topped the list of most-downloaded PlayStation 5 video games in both the United States/Canada and Europe. But that's not all! It also topped the list of most-downloaded PlayStation 4 video games in the United States/Canada, though the top PS4 honor went to FIFA 21 in Europe.
Now, to be clear, these charts purely reflect digital downloads on the PlayStation Store. Physical retail copies aren't included in the same stats, and while PlayStation has shared a list of the most-downloaded video games, no hard numbers are attached. Even so, it's an impressive achievement, especially since the first-party title Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales actually clocks in second to the new Call of Duty video game.

Additionally, Beat Saber took the top PS VR spot in both regions.
