Numerous games launch on Sony’s PlayStation consoles every year. A number of them are big triple-A titles, and many of the names in this category are PlayStation first-party titles. PlayStation first-party titles are known to be pretty well-made story-driven experiences.
While some people are not very appreciative of these story-driven experiences, most love playing through them. And that’s why these games sell pretty well too. Out of numerous first-party PlayStation titles, three made it to the top 10 selling games of 2022.

Everyone must be very well aware of Santa Monica Studio’s work of art, God of War: Ragnarok by now. This game was destined for success the moment it was revealed. The game’s first trailer got a very positive response and from its reveal to its release, the game continuously kept on elevating in popularity.
And eventually, it became the best-selling first-party title for Sony PlayStation ever. And that achievement placed it fourth in last year’s list of top 10 best-selling games.
Horizon Forbidden West
Horizon Zero Dawn received a well-deserved sequel in 2022. This sequel was Horizon Forbidden West. Just like its prequel, at first, this game was only getting traction for the way it looked. People were only talking about its visuals. But that changed with its launch.
The game was well-reviewed and was successful enough for developers to announce a brand new PlayStation 5 exclusive story DLC and a PS VR 2 game.
It grabbed the ninth spot in the top 10 best-selling games of 2022.
MLB The Show 2022
Who knew baseball titles sold so well? Well, they probably do. That’s why Sony actually invests its own money in publishing these games. Sony has been publishing MLB The Show games for a while now.
