Study Reveals the 10 'Most Hyped' Upcoming Games
A study has claimed to reveal the 10 «most hyped» upcoming video game releases, with Grand Theft Auto 6 from Rockstar Games taking the top spot. Free jigsaw puzzle game website I'm-A-Puzzle has analyzed Google search results to determine the 10 most anticipated upcoming video games set to launch in 2022, 2023, and beyond, with some surprising results.
The list was determined based on the average global monthly searches that the games get. Grand Theft Auto 6 took the top spot by a significant margin, with 3,014,790 monthly searches. Hogwarts Legacy, the upcoming Harry Potter action-RPG from Avalanche Software, took a distant second with 1,641,470 searches.
