Sony’s March 2022 PlayStation Store charts were led by ELDEN RING on PS5 and PS4 in the US/Canada, but by Gran Turismo 7 on PS5 and FIFA 22 on PS4 in Europe. These were rankings by downloads—not sales, revenue, or physical copies sold.

Why “best-selling” needs a qualification
The charts show ordinal download positions, not how many downloads a game received. Sony did not publish download totals, market share, revenue, or physical-sales figures in the post. So the rankings identify the most-downloaded games in these listed Store categories and regions, not the best-selling games by units or money.

The chart also excludes upgrades, and Sony notes that product naming may differ between regions. Its scope is limited to the US/Canada and Europe lists shown; it does not provide one combined global ranking across platforms.
