The lists reveal the most popular PS4, PS5, PS VR, and free-to-play games of the month for both North America and Europe, and there aren&#8217;t many surprises in store this month.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with PS5 games, NBA 2K23 was the most-downloaded game on the PSN in September in North America, while FIFA 23 was the top game in Europe (which is no surprise given how popular football is in that region). Another September new release, The Last of Us Part 1, ranked third in both regions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-related-video js-play-on-scroll has-rhythm--max\">\n<p>    <button
