As reported earlier, PlayStation Plus has handed out over 1,000 games since it debuted a decade ago, but which titles have been redeemed by the most members? An infographic released by Sony shows the most popular freebies thus far, accurate as of April 2020. They are as follows:
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered
- Sonic Forces
- Shadow of the Colossus
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
- Destiny 2
Most of these games have been relatively recent additions, which makes sense seeing as the service has a record 41.5 million subscribers at the moment. That would make it the 36th largest population on the planet, by the way.
And what are the most played multiplayer games globally? You can probably guess, but here’s the top five as of April 2020:
- Grand Theft Auto 5
- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
- Destiny
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 4

PS+ Subscriber: sees Sonic Forces Gotta go fast!
Edit: No surprise COD is top dog. I was honestly expecting more COD titles to be up there.
GTA 5 is here to stay for a long time
I've been playing GTA Online a fair bit recently and it's a real weird one. Like, I enjoy it to an extent and there really is nothing else quite like it.
But at the same time, it's so slow to connect, join matches, and so clunky and confusing to play that it's crazy so many people have stuck with it.
BO 3 was kinda dissapointing the campaing atleast should have put more money in the story instead of celeberties.
Sonic Forces and Shadow of the Colossus? I really thought Bloodborne was going to be in there.
@Rudy_Manchego It seems to be partly determined by the popularity of the service. I guess less people were subscribed when games like Bloodborne came out.
EDIT: I guess how many people purchased the game already is also a factor. Many people may not bother "redeeming" the freebies if they already own it.
@get2sammyb Most likely, though I also wonder if there are just those type of games that people don't want to buy but do want to try - Destiny 2 being a good example, how many people played the first few hours then gave up but would never have bought it?
As opposed to say, Bloodborne, that was pretty much in fans collections already.
@get2sammyb This is it. I haven´t redeemed or downloaded a lot of the best ps+ games as I had already bought them on previous sales. But it´s great for those who haven´t.
Well... It doesn't really speak well of the standard of the games when Sonic Forces is second.
@Akurusu I'm not so sure. Cyberpunk will go MP at some point and lets be honest that looks like a much more exciting sandbox to play in.
I think GTA V online is on borrowed time. It will still be popular but not quite the juggernaut it is at present.
I downloaded Shadow of the Colossus but haven't played it yet.
I have played the first two BioShock games with Infinite yet to come.
My most played MP title is without a doubt Star Wars Battlefront 2. I've had a lot of fun with it over the past two and a half years!
I missed Bloodbourne by actually minutes (before I drove to town, bought ps plus, returned home and redeemed subscription, it was roll-over.... say 17 minutes? )
My precious freebie is Darksiders 3.
And online? Don't know. Played online maybe 2 matches in MK X, 2 matches in Tekken 7 and 5 matches in Airmech Arena.
Speaking of GTAV, I can't get over how popular GTA RP is among streamers. It's insane how people just live in the Online portion of the game.
Do we think redeemed means added to library or actually played, as i add everything to my library even if it is of no interest to me, as in 2 years time it may be.
i can't see the graphic myself as for some reason the blog comments cover half the article in firefox
@Col_McCafferty Yeah... because forced first person without the option to switch out in that kind of setting & causing motion sickness is definitely what everyone wants.
@Deadlyblack Online is just way too fun. It gets even better & funnier when you have friends to play it with you.
When I purchase Plus once a while, the only multiplayer I ever play mostly is GTAV so...
Sonic Forces? Though I suppose not many would have bought it and if its there why not try it.
When I have played multiplayer this gen its been Rocket League and Destiny, I rarely play online these days
Best ever ps plus game?
Rocket League
Worst ever ps plus game?
Rocket League when you lost to a kid playing Drake on his mic whilst typing What a Save!
Over 100 million ps4s sold, 40 mill PS+ subscribers, make online free again! Ps3 was the best PlayStation...
@get2sammyb you CAN'T redeem the games if you already own them. I'd love to redeem Battlefront 2 this month but I can't because I have EA Access until September, which means I've already 'purchased' BF2. It's so annoying that Sony can't/won't do anything about that issue.
You know what would be cool?
If they had a month where you pick from old Plus games.
Everyone could pick 3 old games from previous titles to get.
It's a shame destiny started with the first game and ended with 2, because I feel the 1st was immeasurably more fun to play, but then, I dropped out of 2 before all the changes and maybe it's better now?
Perhaps it was just fatigue!
@netbean Yeah like Sony will give up that revenue stream.
@MS7000 this is exactly why COD is overrated and milked
@get2sammyb if I'm not mistaken, I don't believe PS plus let's you redeem games you already own. 🤔
My go to multiplayer game is Hunt: Showdown! It's by far the best shooter I have played in years. I mean I still love Siege and Apex, but Hunt is something special in my opinion.
I'm only interested in GTA V, Sonic Forces, and Shadow of the Colossus from that list...I'm definitely not as mainstream of a gamer as I thought haha.
@GamerDad66
YES! I missed out on rocket league and a host of others back when I first got my PS4 not realising I could just add them to my library 🙄
