2016 wasn’t just a big year for Sony on the console front, having sold 6.2 million PlayStation 4 units over the holidays alone, it was also a big year for their games. In particular, more and more people are purchasing their games digitally through the PlayStation Store. On the PlayStation Blog, Sony has now revealed the top selling downloads on all of their platforms for 2016.
A little surprisingly, the most downloaded game last year on the PS4 was Rocket League. This is surprising because the game didn’t even come out last year, rather it was released in 2015. And it was even free on PlayStation Plus when it first released, making its number one spot this year all the more impressive.
The top digital performers on Sony’s other platforms were Minecraft on PS3, Job Simulator on PlayStation VR, Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth for PlayStation Vita, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the PlayStation Classics. The most downloaded PS4 Add-on for the year was Call of Duty: Black Ops III – Awakening.
