The month of August 2019 was headlined by a few major releases, like No Man’s Sky’s Beyond update, Control, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan, and Madden NFL 20. Surprise! Madden NFL 20 was the month’s most downloaded PS4 game. But how did the other games fare?
For starters, Minecraft is still running strong, taking the number two spot for the month, followed by the unstoppable Grand Theft Auto V. Those are two games that consistently make the top 10 list when it comes to number of downloads. Old favorites, like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Battlefield 4, Rocket League, and Overwatch, have cracked the top 20. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege took the number five spot for the month and has recently hit an impressive milestone with its player count. No Man’s Sky also did well, reaching the number 15 position, thanks to its Beyond VR expansion.
Interestingly, Control did not even crack the top 20, despite its positive critical reception, while The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan just barely made the list, taking the number 20 spot.
