[Software] The best game of the year was not the most searched on Google

[FNX Magokiler]

December has become the month of recaps. From these reviews to all the activity we have carried out on social networks, streaming platforms, music apps and, of course, Google searches, where it is clear that what gamers try to find does not always coincide with what the users later say. awards. And something similar has happened with the best game of the year.

And that "something similar" is nothing other than that Baldur's Gate 3 is not the most searched thing on Google in all of 2023 within the video game category, so it is far from the top positions, which are occupied by some names that will be familiar to you and which have been real successes in sales and income. Even number one, which we can consider as one of the big absentees at the Game Awards held last week.

The most anticipated return to Hogwarts
Indeed, the most searched for when it comes to gaming within Google has been Hogwarts Legacy, the Avalanche title that arrived at the beginning of the year and that has devastated sales to such an extent that a second part is already underway. The universe created by J.K. Rowling takes the lead and leaves everyone else far enough away to believe that this award is already more important than the one obtained by the RPG from Larian Studios in Los Angeles a few days ago.

If you were one of those who did a search on Hogwarts Legacy, tell us if you also did any of the following.

 

 

Like number two, which goes to The Last of Us, although in this case we are very afraid that it is not 100% due to the video game. Remember that 2023 is the year in which the live-action series inspired by the Naughty Dog game arrived on HBO, so most likely those Google searches have much more to do with that fact than with news that has left us unaware. PS5. The third in contention is Connections, the famous game published by The New Work Times and that has had millions of people hooked while trying to create connections with words every day.

The top 10 searches on Google
So, removing that top 3, there are many names left, although some are more representative of the Asian market, which as you know has its own life and its own search engines whose results are not reflected in Google. Even so, in fourth position we have PUBG for mobile phones in India, Starfield, which was one of the ones that raised the most dust from June and now, in sixth position, we have the best game of the year: Baldur's Gate 3.

For the finale there is a Japanese game and three hits that still resonate in our gamer hearts today: Diablo IV, Atomic Heart and Sins of the Forest, which sneaks into the last position of this chart in a surprising way. Especially if we take into account that a new Zelda installment has been released. Below we leave you the top 0 in sight.
