2022 translates as the year of the resurgence of the video game industry, after the pandemic period that affected production. PlayStation celebrates by posting the list of the most downloaded games on the PS Store, and you might be surprised that neither God of War: Ragnarok neither Elden Ring they are.
FIFA 23, in its last year of joint production between EA Sports and FIFA, is the most downloaded title on the PS Store in 2022. The most curious thing: FIFA 22 also appears in the top 10 of both consoles.
It dominated on both the PlayStation 5 and 4, in the year of the Qatar World Cup 2022, won by Argentina’s Leo Messi.
EA Sports and FIFA announce separation, after nearly three decades of releases. The cause, according to the North American developer, is that the cost of the license exceeded one billion dollars per World Cup cycle.
Each one will produce their own video game: while the developer will launch EA Sports FC from 2023, FIFA will continue with its title, although without further details about who will be in charge of production.
