Twitter shares the most tweeted about games during 2022 so far
There were approximately 1.5 billion tweets about gaming on Twitter during the first half of the year.
While the latter half of 2022 may seem a little barren, the first half of the year was pretty good for games. We saw Elden Ring perform even better than we all anticipated, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga arrived, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus introduced us to a new style of Pokemon game. So, there's been lots to talk, and tweet, about.
