Top 10 Most Sold PS5 Games Worldwide in 2026 So Far Led by Resident Evil Requiem and Annual Sports Titles |
Capcom's horror blockbuster "Resident Evil Requiem" has dominated early 2026 sales on PlayStation 5, topping charts in the United States and performing strongly across major markets as the most sold PS5 game worldwide through the first three months of the year.
With the PS5 console continuing its strong performance into 2026, new releases and evergreen favorites have driven robust software sales. Data from Circana (formerly NPD), PlayStation Store download reports, and industry analysts show a mix of fresh horror entries, annual sports simulators and long-running franchises leading the pack. While exact global unit figures remain closely guarded by Sony and publishers, U.S. dollar and unit sales combined with international trends provide a clear picture of the top performers.
Here are the 10 most sold PS5 games worldwide in 2026 so far, based on available retail, digital and PlayStation Store performance through March 2026:
Resident Evil Requiem (Capcom, February 2026) — The latest mainline entry in the long-running survival horror series has been the breakout hit of the year. It topped February's U.S. charts according to Circana and maintained strong momentum into March, with launch-week dollar sales reportedly 60% higher than "Resident Evil Village." Strong word-of-mouth, improved unit sales and global appeal have made it the clear No. 1 PS5 title of early 2026. Critics praised its tense atmosphere and gameplay innovations, helping it resonate with both longtime fans and newcomers.
NBA 2K26 (2K Sports) — The annual basketball simulation continues its tradition of strong early-year performance. Regular content updates, MyCareer improvements and competitive online modes have kept engagement high, securing it the No. 2 spot in U.S. year-to-date sales and solid international results, particularly in Europe and Asia.
