Only six days have passed since the end of August, but that’s been enough time for Sony to crunch the numbers and figure out which games topped the charts on the PlayStation Store last month. Dozens of games managed to attract a noteworthy amount of downloads across a number of categories in the digital storefront throughout the month. But only one game can bear the honor of being the overall top-selling PS4 game of August 2019, and that game isMadden NFL 20.
EA’s football series has long drawn a sizable audience of fans wanting to get their sports fix in the comfort of their own homes, and the latest entry has succeeded in keeping the trend going. This probably has nothing to do withthe hilarious glitch that lets players carry a ball with their helmet, but it certainly didn’t hurt either.

Now that September is underway, the race is on to see which of this month’s new releases will prove to be most successful. EA’s next sports game,FIFA 20, could very well take the top spot likeMadden NFL 20did when it comes out at the end of the month, but it’ll be going up against some heavy-hitters likeMonster Hunter World: Iceborne,NBA 2K20, andBorderlands 3, to name a few.
