Introduction
Video games are at an all-time high. The gaming community is more diverse than ever and can cater to all tastes.
In this article, we are going to mention some of the most popular and best games in the world of video games in the last several years, and you can list the extraordinary variety yourself.
PUBG: Battlegrounds
In 2017, during the Battle Royale storm (which we will mention in other cases), the big and ambitious title was released and went on to break many records. PUBG would sell 75 million copies on PC by the end of 2021 and immortalize its name in the history of video games. This third-person shooter is nominated in several categories at The Game Awards.
PUBG's success on mobile continued, with millions of people downloading the game. At The Game Awards 2021, it was announced that PUBG would be free to play on all platforms, and with these policies in place, the game will continue to retain its audience. As a result, PUBG is one of the most popular and best games in the world.
Minecraft
It seems that the adventure of Mojang and Minecraft is not going to end. The game was released in 2011 and no one would have thought that this title would be one of the best-selling and best games in the world in the open world genre!
Minecraft is still growing content and you can buy DLCs for the game with Ice Age and SpongeBob. Minecraft is known as one of the best games in the world. It had a strange epidemic and was the most popular game on many platforms.
The secret to Minecraft's popularity over the years has been its unquestionable freedom of action, which places no barriers to the player's creative mind.
Fortnite
Fortnite is one of those games that took a strange path and is now more different than ever among the most popular and best games in the world. The peak of Fortnite's popularity dates back to the Battle Royale storm. This free-to-play game offers engaging and thought-provoking gameplay and a large and unique world.
Epic Games has invested a lot in this game and is devoting all its time and energy to Fortnite. We are currently seeing skins from all the famous characters from movies, TV series, animations, and even other games coming to Fortnite (from Kratos to Master Chief!)
Elden Ring
When Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was released in 2019 and achieved great success by moving away from the Soulsborn formula, many assumed that Miyazaki would no longer release works in this genre.
In early 2022, all predictions were proven wrong with the release of Elden Ring. The game would define the open world game after Zelda and receive full media coverage. Elden Ring's success didn't end there, and the game has sold half of the entire Dark Souls series to date.
Elden Ring is already considered one of the best games in the world, making many people interested in Soulsborn, and now Elden R is one of the new candidates for the best game of the year.
FIFA
The FIFA series, which is one of the oldest games on the list, has maintained its annual trend and is always on the list of the best-selling and best games in the world in different countries.
FIFA Ultimate Team turns you into a business and you can earn points in this section. You should not neglect the FIFA experience with friends and family in your free time and this game can create a healthy and attractive one.
For many football fans, FIFA has always been one of the best games in the world, or even the best!
GTA V & GTA Online
The incredible success of GTA V is now making its fans see that everyone is tired of seeing the game's name on the bestseller charts. Many blame Rockstar for releasing GTA V and hope they stop making these games!
In addition to the fascinating campaign that tells the story of three great thieves, this game also has an online mode where different players can freely laugh, steal, shoot people and make money in a chaotic world. This game is still ongoing and supported for 9 years since its launch, many days have been released for this game and it seems that it will be among the best games in the world in the future.
Call of Duty
Finally, there is no new Call of Duty release in 2023, and other games can compete for the title of best-selling game of the year. Whether the game tells the story of an unknown soldier in World War II, a secret agent in the Cold War, or an officer in the fight against terrorists, COD sells many copies and is experienced by many people in different parts of the world.
In 2020, Activision released its battle royale title, COD: Warzone, and this free-to-play game repeated the successes of its previous versions. For many gamers, Call of Duty has always been on the list of the best games in the world, always on the charts, and no game can be a good replacement for the Call of Duty series!
Red Dead Redemption 2
Which games do you think can compete with COD and put Activision to sleep? Yes, you guessed it, only Rockstar can do this with GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2. RDR 2 is a lesson in spin-offs and it's possible that Rockstar's usual successful formula will be implemented this time in the 19th century.
A large number of users of ninth-generation consoles are waiting for the next-generation version of this game, and it will probably raise RDR 2's rank in the list of the 10 best-selling games of all time. Red Dead 2 is the most popular and best-selling game in the world.
Fall Guys
Fall Guys was one of those small, simple games that became very popular during the quarantine with a battle royale structure. In this game, you control fat and funny characters who compete either individually or in teams, and in each stage or multiple players go side by side until one person finally wins. In June 2022, Fall Guys became completely free and reached a record of 50 million players!
Strangely enough, Fall Guys has now become one of the most popular, beloved, and best games in the world.
Among Us
Cyberspace was completely taken over by Among Us in 2020 and 2021. Everyone played the game and tried to collect spies or kill all the residents. The peak of this game in 2020 was to the point where 60 million people in different parts of the world had experienced Among Us. Although that game lost its incredible popularity to some extent, it is still one of the best games in the world and the most popular multiplayer games.
God of War
Santa Monica released God of War in 2018, after a long wait, and it was a huge success! The game was revolutionary in every way, spawning several sequels to the classic. In addition to its impressive success in terms of reviews, the game went on to sell 19.5 million units on PS4 alone, and it performed exceptionally well as an exclusive.
In early 2022, the game was released for PC and became the biggest PlayStation launch date for PC, selling millions of copies in a few months, joining the best games in the world and breaking records.
Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
This may be a bit controversial and many people don't like these changes to Assassin's Creed. The game is set in a world of Vikings and Norse mythology. While AC Valhalla may not be as good as God of War in terms of storytelling, it has its own signature and does a good job of telling the story of the Vikings in England.
The game sold 1.8 million copies in its first week, becoming Ubisoft's biggest PC launch in history and becoming one of the most successful Assassin's Creed releases and a top-rated game in the world.
Spider-Man
Superhero games have taken a strange path in the gaming industry and are now in their prime. Insomniac is making a big profit for Sony with the release of Marvel's Spider-Man in 2018 and then Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales in 2020.
These games have collectively sold 33 million copies, making the new franchise one of the biggest IPs in PlayStation history. The game was also a hit on PC, reaching the top of the best-selling and best-selling games lists worldwide. A sequel is set to be released next year.
Forza Horizon 5
The latest installment in the Forza franchise takes us to Mexico, casting its spell over deserts and waterfalls. With Forza Horizon 5 available on Game Pass from launch day, it has gone on to sell 15 million copies and become the best-selling and best-selling Xbox One game ever.
The game also reaches 20 million players. The game's DLCs are there to bring sales back to their good old days, and Forza Horizon 5 has convinced many to head to Xbox to experience the game. Forza Horizon 5 has firmly established itself as one of the best games in the world.
What do you think about this? What other games could I add to the list of the best games in the world?
