FIFA, South Park, Shadow Of War Top PlayStation Store's October Downloads
The PlayStation blog has released its monthly list of the most-downloaded games and add-ons on all of its platforms, and FIFA reigns supreme.
EA's yearly sports title was the most-downloaded PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 game in October, followed by South Park: The Fractured But Whole and Middle-earth: Shadow of War in second and third, respectively. Assassin's Creed follows fourth despite having launched at the end of the month (October 27). Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, which launched that same day, debuts at number 19. The top 20 PS4 games are as follows:
1 FIFA 18
2 South Park: The Fractured but Whole
3 Middle-earth: Shadow of War
4 Assassin’s Creed Origins
5 Gran Turismo Sport
6 NBA 2K18
7 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition
8 Madden NFL 18
9 Grand Theft Auto V
10 WWE 2K18
11 Destiny 2
12 Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen
13 The Last Of Us Remastered
14 Mortal Kombat XL
15 Ghost Recon Wildlands
16 The Evil Within 2
17 Rocket League
18 Dead Island Definitive Edition
19 Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
20 Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition
The PS3 has a mix of expected mainstays (Grand Theft Auto V) and one-offs (Dead Space, The King of Fighter XIII, Need For Speed Most Wanted). Meanwhile, Rocket League, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, and Friday the 13th dominate PS4 Add-ons list while I Expect You To Die, Driveclub VR, and Arizona Sunshine head the VR Pack.

Our Take
No one should be surprised about FIFA's dominance, but I am majorly bummed about Wolfenstein's rather lackluster debut. That game is very good, and you should play it!
