Google: The most popular games in Search in 2023
You might never heard about two games from the list at least.
Hogwarts Legacy - the leader in the number of Google search queries among games this year.
In second place is The Last of Us. However, people were likely searching for the series rather than the game.
The third place in popularity goes to Connections - a word game from The New York Times.
It’s time to kick Slack and Google Drive out of the game development pipeline.

Battlegrounds Mobile India - through the efforts of one country - took the fourth place.
Baldur’s Gate 3 entered the top (6th position), surpassing Diablo IV (8th place).
One of the most interesting search trends is スイカ ゲーム (Google translates it as "Watermelon Game"). A game with this name ranked seventh in searches (higher than Diablo IV, Atomic Heart, and Sons of the Forest). In terms of mechanics, it's like Tetris blended with 2048, but instead of geometric shapes, there are round fruits. There is also a simple physics model. You can play it here: https://suika-game.app.
