Things begin to differ from the previous list asFinal Fantasytakes fourth place, which was held byApex Legendsat the end of 2022’s first quarter. Given the load of recentnews onFinal Fantasy 16, as well as the announcement of the second part of theFinal Fantasy 7remake, it isn’t too much of a surprise that gamers are tweeting aboutFinal Fantasyen masse.
Battle royaleApex Legendsfalls to sixth place then, just underProject Sekaibut still toppingElden Ring, which remains in seventh place. It may seem surprising that a game as successful asElden Ringdid not score higher in the list of most tweeted about games. However, it is possible that conversation around FromSoftware’s latest RPG has moved onto other social media platforms. Perhaps the biggest surprise in is the addition ofThe Legend of Zeldaat number ten. It is predicted that the appearance ofZeldain this list has to do with the March announcement thatBreath of the Wild 2will be delayed until 2023.
Between the first quarter of 2022 and the end of its first half,Minecrafthas dropped entirely off the list of the ten most tweeted about games. This may also seem surprising, given the recent release ofThe Wild update forMinecraft.

Japan ranked number 1 in that category, with the US following in close second.
