Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War proved to be an absolutely massive hit with current-gen and next-gen PlayStation gamers during lockdown in 2020. 

The 1980s-era installment in the tactical first-person shooter franchise was the most downloaded video game by those who were lucky enough to score a PS5 before it sold out and PS4 players in the U.S. Additionally, the highest demand for a free-to-play download went to the battle royale-style Call of Duty: Warzone. 

The most-downloaded list begins to differ farther down the ranks. PS5 launch titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miss Morales, Demon’s Souls and NBA 2K21 (all of which were featured in Maxim.com’s best games for PlayStation 5) were predictably popular on the buzzy new console. 

PS4 users bought Grand Theft Auto V, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and both this and last year’s editions of NBA 2K. A surprise hit was Minecraft at No. 4, a decade-plus-old sandbox title that received very little graphical upgrades to its rudimentary 3D objects and rough textures as a PS4 port.
