Many major games that were originally scheduled to launch in 2022 wound up being pushed to next year, making 2023 especially stacked when it comes to new releases.

Probably the most useless metric.

Remember when Animal Crossing New Horizons only had around 1 million views vs TLOU2 with 16 million views, at the end ACNH sold 40 million units at full price while TLOU2 needed to lower its msrp to sell around 10 million units.

I can imagine most might still be searching for breath of the wild 2 tbh, I imagine Zelda would be higher otherwise.

And no idea what sons of the forest is. 🤷‍♂️

I still get confused tears of kingdom with breath of wild 2.

As for that game. It's survival game for PC players

given the results this seems likely to have a flawed criteria

though I wonder if this will shut up the people claiming ARK 2 isn’t a big exclusive get for Xbox while saying FFXVI for PS5 is why Xbox should be allowed to buy Activision-Blizzard? 🤔

I wonder how many people will actually look at the source and how they used this ‘data’ to come up with a ‘most anticipated’ list lol

Not to mention the game is around the corner, which increases the searched numbers.

Even the most casual gamers I know are excited for it.

Even people who I didn't know even games, seem to know about the game.

Hell, myself and my younger and older brother are looking forward too it and non of us are Harry Potter fans.

There is a lot of genuine excitement for Hogwarts Legacy.

not surprised, the IP is massive and casual gamers will want to play it.

I would not be surprised if it sold 20 million copies once the last gen versions come out.

The fuck is that?

In an effort to determine the 10 most anticipated games of 2023, the site Top10Casinos took a list of upcoming games created by PCGamer and then used Ahrefs to collect global search data about each game. The titles were then ranked by global search volume to determine which new 2023 games people are looking forward to the most.

Spider-Man and Zelda weren't on the PCGamer page where some casino website got their game list from. Top 10 most anticipated PC games I guess?
Edit: Wait, Zelda is in the list in the OP but isn't on the page the Casino place got their games list from, this list is even more questionable.

I never read Harry Potter or watched the movies because I was in my 20s when the books came out, so I was always too old to get into it. Because of this I also have zero interest in the game, but it should be fun for all the children that grew up with it.

Now I just need an Encyclopedia Brown or GoBots game on this scale.

It's also the game with the most revealed so far...once BOTW2, Spiderman and Starfield show more they should be on the forefront of peoples minds more. Every other day theres a hogwarts legacy breakdown.

Yeah I’m gonna say no to this weird study based on Google searches.

Maybe a better take would be “these are the games with more searches pre release”

Forspoken for example lmao. Won’t translate to sales at all.

People are underestimating Harry Pooter just like people underestimated Spiderman PS4. Game is going to be massive. Plus graphically it's very nice. It's the most next gen Harry Potter game we've ever had. Last Harry Potter games have been Lego.

Yeah, I don't think I would trust this list.
It people who search for a game to learn more about it, then there are people who would search for a game for culture war and political reasons.

I don't think internet searches alone is a good metric for popularity.

Of course it is! No surprise. Hoping it turns out as good as it looks & sounds!

What I’m not looking forward to is the games media firestorm coming from people who will entirely overlook the game in favor of making it solely about JK Rowling. And completely pooping on all the work the developer’s have done on the game. Which will totally drown out the game’s actual quality. So for those of us who just want an honest genuine critique of *just the game*, we’ll have to be careful on what reviews we use to determine actual game quality. I’m hoping it’s high-end 80/90 MC.

No surprise. It’s coming out in six weeks, and of all the games people mentioned, it’s the one we have by far the most info for right now.

This game is going to be huge and thanks to Microsoft making Starfield exclusive, will likely be the biggest game of the year after cod.

The reveal trailer has 31 million views on youtube which are insane numbers for a video game. FF16 reveal from the same event has 4 million and the miles gameplay trailer from the same event has 11 million views.

It also looks like a real AAA HP game and not a bs movie tie-in. It will be just as successful if not more successful than Insomniac's spdierman.

Exactly. I’m interested in it, but will get Zelda and Starfield before getting this game.

Also want to support JKR. Despite what people say, she’s not said anything transphobic. As a victim, she wants other women protected from predators (bad actors) who actively seek loopholes.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
I bet that "study" was basically the journo scratching his balls while coming up with whatever top 10 he could.

Not a very reliable source. Isn't this the game that can get you banned on Reddit if you mention it?

It might be the most anticipated overall. Damned if I could say either way. But I certainly won't deny it. Huge IP, looks promising, and multiplatform. Could become this year's Elden Ring in term's of popularity.

Oh boy the purples are starting to break down a bit

I wish J.K Rolling were a good human because then we could freely discuss Hogwarts Legacy here.

Why does she have to suck?

My favorite is this one:

"I want to burn this wretched world down seeing the number 1 on this list, and everyone playing this game will be my enemy, and I hope every one of you who plays the fucking Harry Potter game burn your hand into incapacitation, ban me if you want"

LMAO and of course the idiot isn't banned for saying that. Cringe.

I am interested in Starfield, but there's quite a high chance it will be a trainwreck.

Looking forward to harry potter, but will await reviews.


Then...
