Today marks the 30th anniversary of the PS1's launch in the US, and that news might make you feel warm and fuzzy toward classics like Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, any number of Final Fantasy games, or an uncountable number of other legendary games. But those kinds of memories would put you very much out of step with the general game-buying public in the US, as a breakdown of the platform's all-time best-sellers suggest that the combined juggernauts of Call of Duty and Rockstar are mighty tough to topple.
Unsurprisingly, GTA 5 is the best-selling PlayStation game of all time in the US, according to a chart provided by Mat Piscatella of retail tracking group Circana on Bluesky. This chart counts games released across any PlayStation platform, from the PS1 up through the PS5. In terms of dollar sales, the number two spot goes to 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and there's a whole lot more CoD all the way down the list.
