The Most-Downloaded PS5 Games Of January 2025Details on the most-downloaded PS5 games of January 2025 have been revealed by Sony, and yet again, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has taken the top slot in North America. This is the fourth month in a row that the new entry Call of Duty has been no. 1 and it'll be interesting to see how much longer it can maintain this position. Some big games are launching for PS5 in February and March, so there's a good chance that Black Ops 6 could give up some ground to new arrivals, but only time will tell. Speaking of new arrivals, two recent releases cracked the PlayStation chart. Ninja Gaiden Black 2 --a remaster of the cult-classic 2008 action game--was no. 14 on the list, while Dynasty Warriors: Origins was no. 11. Beyond those games, EA and 2K's various sports games dominated the list, as NFL, NHL, football, soccer, and UFC games remained in the top 20. Popular single-player games like Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Hogwarts Legacy, and Astro Bot also made an appearance, and unsurprisingly, Grand Theft Auto 5 is still a force to be reckoned with. Meanwhile, some of the most-downloaded PS4 games included Red Dead Redemption 2, Batman: Arkham Knight, and A Way Out, while the list of most-downloaded VR games remained largely the same as in previous months. In the most-downloaded free-to-play games category, Marvel Rivals once again beat Fortnite, while the new release of Wuthering Waves on PS5 finished at no. 5.

All Palworld Platforms (current and upcoming) Palworld is a game that took the beginning of 2024 by storm, breaking records on Steam and amassing over two million concurrent users at its peak. Because of its major success on its initial release, Palworld was eventually released on other platforms. That being said, here are all the platforms Palworld is on, along with speculations and possibilities of making it to even more platforms. All platforms Palworld is on currently Right now, Palworld is currently on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 5, PC, and soon on Mac OS. At its initial launch in early access on January 19, 2024, Palworld was only available via Microsoft platforms (Xbox One, Series consoles, and PC). It was also an Xbox Game Pass day one exclusive, boasting very high player counts. Despite having very limited crossplay and some technical issues at launch, the game did very well. With the overwhelming success, this did leave a few other potential fans on other platforms wondering if Palworld would eventually come to Sony, Mac, and Nintendo. Fortunately for the PS5, they would eventually get the early access builds later in 2024. Apple users will have to wait a bit longer while Nintendo players do not have much hope (yet). Palworld landed on the PlayStation 5 on September 24, 2024, right after the State of Play. As of now, the only major platforms that Palworld is not on yet are Mac OS (which will come later in 2025) and Nintendo platforms (Switch and Switch 2). Image via Pocketpair All Palworld platforms and dates All that being said, here are the current platforms Palworld is on and their release dates Xbox One and Series X/S - January 19, 2024 PC - January 19, 2024 PlayStation 5 - September 24, 2024 Mac OS - February 25, 2025 Nintendo Switch - not announced Platforms Palworld isn’t on As of right now, Nintendo consoles are the only major platforms on which Palworld isn’t available. Given the recent lawsuit filed by Nintendo and The Pokemon Company , it is unclear whether it will ever see a home on Nintendo’s platforms. Don't hold your breath if you want to experience the game on the Switch or Switch 2. The post All Palworld Platforms (current and upcoming) appeared first on Destructoid .

Xbox Excellence Awards Take A Different Approach To Celebrate DevelopersXbox has introduced the Xbox Excellence Awards , which picks its winners based on how players engaged with Xbox games over the past year. It has four different categories, and they're much different than the typical ones we've seen like "Game of the Year" or "Best RPG." The four categories are Store Rating, Player Engagement, Daily Active Users, and Units Sold. For Store Rating, it measures the highest-rated content across all of Microsoft and Xbox's stores in 2024, provided the games have a minimum of 500 ratings each. Player Engagement measures games with he highest average hours per player within the first six weeks of release. Daily Active Users measures games, expansions, and major updates with the highest single active user count in 2024. This particular category can also include games that weren't released in 2024. Lastly, Units Sold simply refers to the top-selling content across Microsoft and Xbox stores. The list also doesn't order them in terms of quantity or numerically like a "top-downloaded games" list, but rather alphabetically. As for Xbox this upcoming year , Xbox Games Studios is starting off strong during the first half of 2025. Avowed launches on February 18, followed by South of Midnight on April 8, and then Doom: The Dark Ages on May 15. As for third-party support, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Ninja Gaiden 4 are set to release on April 24 and in Fall 2025, respectively, with both games launching day-one on Game Pass.
