The US PlayStation Store charts for September 2018 have been revealed, detailing the top selling digital titles last month. Naturally, Marvel’s Spider-Man was the top selling title on the PS4, followed by NBA 2K19 and FIFA 19. On the free-to-play chart, Fortnite Battle Royale continues to lead the pack.
Sony has confirmed via Twitter that the malicious PSN messages causing PS4 consoles to crash has been fixed. Sony also clarified that the messages weren’t bricking consoles, but rather sending them into a infinite crash loop.

The European PlayStation has received a massive update this week, with over 25 new PS4 games available to purchase, including four new PS VR titles. New games this week include SoulCalibur VI, Lego DC Super-Villains and Starlink: Battle for Atlas. A demo of recently release Astro Bot Rescue Mission is also available to download this week.
Reports over the weekend have surfaced on Reddit indicating that a malicious PSN message is causing PS4 systems to crash, requiring factory resets to fix the issue. The message, once received, causes the PS4 to shut down and enter a boot loop, making the console unusable.
New details about the Fortnite physical release have emerged, and it turns out that it won’t include a physical copy of the game. While the game will be available to purchase in stores in November, the box will actually contain a PSN code that needs to be redeemed on the PlayStation Store to download the game and content.
Sony has officially announced that the long-awaited feature that will allow users to change their PSN Online ID is on it’s way.

And a full roll-out of the feature will happen in early 2019.
The PlayStation Store chart for Europe has been released, showing the most popular digital purchases in September 2018. Last month saw a number of major releases, so it’s no surprise that FIFA 19 was the top selling PS4 title, followed by Marvel’s Spider-Man. A total of seven new releases made it into the top 20 last month.
Recent reports have suggested that Sony are preparing to release functionality that will finally allow people to change their PSN name. According to Kotaku, three separate developers have said they are updating their games to support the upcoming feature, but no timescales were given.

The physical version will be available for PS4, Xbox One and Switch and will be called Fortnite: Deep Freeze Bundle. It will retail for £24.99 and will be available from 16th November 2018.
