October also had some big releases for PlayStation 4. The highly anticipated Battlefield 1 dropped on Oct. 21 and took the top-selling spot for PS4. Players also showed they were nostalgic for the realm of Tamriel and picked up The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, snagging it second-place in sales. The popular Titanfall 2 came in at spot number nine, but its low placement makes more sense when considering it released much later in the month on Oct. 28. It will undoubtedly have higher numbers for the month of November. Check out the PS4 top-selling list below, as well as last-gen’s most popular games.

The Top PS4 Games Were:

  1. Battlefield 1
  2. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition
