By One of August’s most downloaded PS5 games
The PS Store charts for August are here, and while there are no huge surprises, you may be interested to know that the middling Mafia: The Old Country was one of the month’s best-selling PS5 games.
While it didn’t review especially well, the crime thriller action title made a splash in terms of sales, securing number one on the European chart and third on the North American chart.
Across the pond, Madden NFL 26 took the top spot, while it’s nowhere to be seen in the EU bestsellers list.
Hardcore shooter Ready or Not is also still doing very well for itself, coming in third in Europe and second in North America after a strong start in July.
