The PlayStation Store’s December 2022 top downloads have now been revealed by Sony, led by Modern Warfare 2 and FIFA 23. The December-released titles The Callisto Protocol, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, and Marvel’s Midnight Suns have all made respectable top-20 showings in the PS5 games list.

While both the PS5 and PS4 lists are topped by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (US/Canada) and FIFA 23 (EU), these household franchises have still seen some strong competition from the gaming industry’s December 2022 entrants. Striking Distance Studios’ The Callisto Protocol came in sixth on the most-downloaded PS5 games list in both regions. Square Enix’s Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion was tenth place in both regions for the PS5, and Firaxis Games’ tactical RPG Marvel’s Midnight Suns placed fourteenth in the US/Canada region.
