Best-Selling PlayStation 4 Games
Global lifetime sales
Cultural Impact
The PlayStation 4 dominated the eighth generation of home consoles, outselling the Xbox One by more than 2:1. Sony's strategy of focusing on games while Microsoft controversially initially required an always-online connection and a $100 price premium gave the PS4 an enormous head start that it never relinquished. It became the second best-selling home console of all time and was home to a golden era of single-player narrative games including The Last of Us Part II, God of War, and Horizon Zero Dawn.
