Sony have released the top 3 played games for certain countries on PlayStation this year. Japan is the only country where all three titles are digital only releases. If someone wanted context on what Japanese gamers are doing with their PS5 purchase when physical software sales from Famitsu is low here it is. I had no idea Apex was so big in Japan.
Overall Fortnite dominated appearing in the top 3 most played games of 22 of the 23 countries. FIFA 23 follows with 19 appearances.
