It seems this is the top 15 most played PlayStation games in the US, not worldwide, correct? Also, is it counting both the PS4 and PS5? If so, I wonder how many games in total there would be. And this image doesn’t list how many how active users there are, just the ranking. I also wonder how it is counting each unique user. Is it counting anyone who loads the game? Is there a certain time limit requirement? Does it differentiate between playing by yourself and multiplayer? Just curious about all the criteria and specifics. I’d love to see the actual breakdown of all of this.
I tried to find the source for this, like the actual website where you can find this information (like the Circana site itself), but all I could find was Mat Piscatella’s posts on various social media sites referencing the “Circana US Player Engagement Tracker” where he posts these images. I didn’t search too hard or long, so maybe it’s super easy to find. So if someone can find where you can actually look at this data directly from the source, or a link to it, I’m very interested in it.
There’s a bunch of gaming related datasets and statistics I’ve always wanted access to but there’s surprisingly few (or no) legitimate resources to look into. This may be by design, I’m not sure. For instance another statistic I’ve wanted to know are how certain games are performing sales wise every month, or every quarter. But the only information I ever am able to find is someone else referencing numbers but I can never find how to look up the sources myself. Maybe I just suck at Googling or something.
None of this is super important or anything that I desperately “need”. It’s just something I’ve always thought was interesting and would be cool to have access to for my own personal reasons and curiosity. I enjoy looking at gaming related statistics, even weird obscure ones.
So anyway, if anyone knows of any websites or apps that track any of this stuff, I’d love to know
