Twitter’s Rishi Chadha has revealed a number of statistics on gaming-related tweets in 2022, including the most-discussed games, esports teams, and players. The list of the top figures on Twitter includes a broad group with stars such as Genshin Impact, s1mple, Elden Ring, and more.

Chadha, the Global Head of Creator & Gaming Content Partnerships at Twitter, released a series of tweets detailing Twitter’s findings, beginning by revealing that Japan was the country tweeting most about gaming. Looking at specific games, the hugely popular Genshin Impact topped the list. Other titles such as Apex Legends, Elden Ring, Valorant, and Final Fantasy among the top ten.

Coming in second is the web-based Wordle. The daily word game likely ranks high on the list due to its copy-paste results mechanic which helped propel its popularity in 2021.
