Sony has published the PlayStation Store download charts for October 2026, highlighting a competitive landscape where Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 secured the number one position in both North America and Europe. While the dominance of the shooter was expected, the performance of other titles beneath it offers surprising insights into player preferences during the month.
BeamNG.drive, an early access physics-based driving simulator, emerged as a standout performer. The title claimed second place in North America and third place in Europe, outselling the vast majority of other games released in October across both regions. In Europe, only EA Sports FC 27 managed to outpace BeamNG.drive among new releases, whereas major titles like Phantom Blade Zero did not achieve similar chart positions.
Several other October launches also made significant appearances in the top 20 lists. Peak ranked seventh in the US and sixth in Europe, while Star Wars: Galactic Racer secured eighth place in both regions. Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve appeared ninth in North America and fourteenth in Europe. The charts reflect a packed month with numerous new titles achieving strong enough sales to feature prominently on the PS Store.
The full top 20 lists show distinct regional variations alongside shared hits. In North America, Madden NFL 27, NBA 2K27, and College Football 27 rounded out the sports genre presence, while Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto V maintained strong positions. The European chart featured Enshrouded, Planet Zoo 2, and Mafia III: Definitive Edition in the top ten, with Cyberpunk 2077 and Resident Evil 4 also appearing in the final rankings. These figures confirm that despite a crowded release schedule, specific titles like BeamNG.drive captured significant market attention.
