All up, there were 2.4 billion tweets about gaming, a 14% YoY increase – with Q4 being the biggest quarter for gaming conversation on the site.

Further down, we can see Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons in sixth (it took out the top spot in the previous year) and even titles like Minecraft and Fortnite.
