The Game Awards this Thursday was an enormous coming-out party for many games, both AAA and independently developed, but for some it was an even bigger showing than others. Benji-Sales, a popular Twitter analyst of video games has been feverishly compiling figures based upon the watch counts of a variety of trailers – all for games that were shown or debuted at The Game Awards. Based on the data that Benji-Sales has presented, some games are looking like they’ll be adopted by an extremely large number of players when they eventually launch, while some others may not be getting quite the level of consumer traction that their developers and/or publishers had hoped.

Firstly, the method behind the madness. Benji-Sales outlined the criteria that underpinned his work, saying “Methodology – Compiled all Trailer Uploads (No Reaction Videos or Breakdown Videos) of 30k Views or More.” Sorry smaller-scale YouTubers and influencers, you’re (in the nicest way possible) statistically irrelevant.

Next the results, and there’s perhaps no surprise that big licenses and big sequels fill the list with some nice highlights along the way. The data shared by Benji-Sales reveals the top eight viewed games following The Game Awards based upon the above criteria,
