Sony recently released a new “My PS4 Life” feature which any PlayStation 4 owner can use to find out their first ever PlayStation 4 game they’ve played along with their top three games (based on hours spent playing), and their most rare trophy.
Its the rarest trophy feature which has lead to people gaining decent estimates as to the total player numbers for any PS4 release.
At the time of writing, gamstat has listed 116 games and greater accuracy is expected once more numbers have been crunched. You can view all the racing games and some of the biggest titles for comparison listed below (numbers are based on worldwide stats unless otherwise stated, in ascending order).

- Burnout Paradise Remastered 275,000 (Europe & Australia)
