Feels like 2021 just got started and here we are already looking back at January’s top downloads across PlayStation Store. Those four weeks flew by largely thanks to an amazing lineup of games to keep us busy!
Black Ops Cold War made a strong showing all through the charts, with FIFA 21 taking the top PS5 spot in Europe. Even with a late January release date, Hitman III infiltrated the list at second place in both regions – well done, Agent 47.
