1) Among Us
2) Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout
3) Valorant
4) Genshin Impact
5) Ghost of Tsushima
6) Animal Crossing
7) Assassin's Creed Valhalla
8) The Last of Us 2
9) Madden NFL 21
10) Jackbox


Animal Crossing's presence comes as little surprise; the game took the world by storm earlier this year, breaking sales records and dominating social media chatter as it served as a welcome distraction from world events.
