PS Store Tops July 2025

Editorial look at July 2025 PS Store rankings and what they reveal about console gaming today.

Gritty FPS Tops PS Store in July 2025

Sony published its PS Store top sellers for July 2025. In North America, EA Sports College Football 26 led the chart, with the gritty shooter Ready or Not close behind. In Europe, Ready or Not captured the top spot as players leaned toward mature, action-heavy titles, with Rematch and Forza Horizon 5 also ranking highly.

Across the PS5 and PS4 lists, long-running hits and new arrivals share space. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 made a strong debut in sixth in North America, while Death Stranding 2: On the Beach sits in the upper part of the chart on both sides of the Atlantic. On PS4, Red Dead Redemption 2 continued its steady run, and Star Wars Battlefront II remained a force in Europe as well. Sony notes that about 83 percent of PS5 and PS4 purchases now occur on the PS Store, underscoring the platform’s central role in the current console market.

The July results show the PS Store acting as a gatekeeper, guiding players toward big franchises and a handful of new hits. The Europe tilt toward Ready or Not indicates regional taste for grittier, tactical gameplay, while North America leans toward sports sims and more mainstream action.

The numbers also underscore how digital distribution shapes visibility. Back catalog power, exemplified by Red Dead Redemption 2 and Star Wars Battlefront II, remains a steady driver even as new titles jockey for attention. For developers, the lesson is clear: stay visible through updates, bundles, and price strategies that keep evergreen titles in rotation while breaking through with fresh releases.
