This Incredible New PS5 Website Tracks PS Store Sales Data Around the World and Your Personal Play History
PS Store DB is a fan-made website that tracks PlayStation Store sales rankings across regions, offering an alternative way to gauge game performance where no official equivalent to Steam’s concurrent-player figures exists. Created by ResetEra user Maki, the site has expanded beyond sales data and could provide useful insight into how newly released games are performing worldwide.
The website can generate shareable sales charts, show highly rated games based on PlayStation Store user reviews, and import a player’s gaming history using Trophy data. It also reports statistics such as hours played and games completed, recommends titles from a user’s backlog, and highlights relevant PS Store deals, although its historical records may be incomplete for games played before Trophy tracking was available.
In short
- Tracks PS Store rankings across regions.
- Imports play history and recommends backlog games.
- Adds ratings, deals and shareable sales data.
Explained simply
PlayStation Store is Sony’s digital shop for PlayStation games, including titles for the PS5. Sony does not publish a public count of how many people are playing each game at a given moment, so sales rankings offer one way to compare interest, though they do not show exact sales figures.
PS Store DB is an independent site made by a PlayStation fan, Maki, that tracks store rankings in different regions. It also uses Trophy data, which records achievements earned in games, to show parts of a player’s history; older play may be missing because Trophy tracking was not always available.
The site brings together information about game rankings, player reviews, play history and store offers. This can help players explore what is popular and look back at their own activity, while giving an unofficial view of how games are doing across markets.
