Sony published the PlayStation Store’s January sales data, ranking the best-selling games on every platform — a clean snapshot of what PS4, PS3, and PS Vita owners were actually buying in the first month of 2016.

The classics list is the time capsule here — Crash and Spyro dominating digital downloads was the clearest early signal of the nostalgia market that later produced the Crash and Spyro remakes. And the PS4 list still reads like an all-star draft; most of it — Rocket League, GTA V, Bloodborne — holds up on any PlayStation 4 you can find today.
