In terms of countries around the world tweeting about games the most, eastern Asia dominated the list. Japan came in first place with the most tweets about video games, with the U.S. following behind in second place. Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia followed in third, fourth, and fifth place respectively, with the U.K. all the way back in ninth place.
Perhaps it's not a surprise Genshin Impact has taken first place in the most-tweeted games of the year. miHoYo's game has received numerous updates over the first half of the year so far, especially with the Genshin Impact 2.7 update, which was originally delayed and hotly anticipated by players around the world. There are even fan-made Genshin Impact movies that are so good, they're getting their own film festival.
