Google Trends Reveals the Most Searched Games in 2023
Dec. 11, 2023The wizarding game became the most searched because of thecontroversy around Harry Potter’s authorJK Rowling, and her stance on the transgender community. While discussions have always flared up over the months after its release, the searches surged the highest during its release week.
Similarly, The Last of Us has ranked itself as the second-most searched video game on Google. Part of the reason for this could be the first season of theHBO showbased on the game, along with the remake launching for PC. As you might know, the remake on PC had a painful launch. Hence, some searches could’ve come from disgruntled players trying to find fixes for the game.
Unfortunately, while The Last of Us 2 had a lot of searches, another prominent PlayStation game from this year doesn’t appear on the list.Spider-Man 2, which was one of the biggest launches for the PS5 this year, didn’t make the cut for the top ten searches on Google.
Diablo 4, the newest entry in the long-running action RPG, sits at the eighth position. While the game had a rough post-launch, things are slowly getting back on track with new, regular content updates.
One of the more surprising searches comes for the Suika game. For those who don’t know, Suika is aphysics-based Tetris-likegame where you try to score as many points as possible. Suika became popular around October after popular VTubers from HoloLive and Nijisanji, among others, started playing the game on stream. It sits at the seventh position in the trends list.
