The Witcher 3 remains at the top of our list.

We continue the year’s summary on GamePressure.com. Yesterday we discussed the hottest premieres of 2018, where the criterion was your interest in the period from one month before the game’s premiere to one month after the release. Today, we will take a look at the most popular games on our site, regardless of their release date.

The hottest premiere of this year, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, was only in fourth place. Interestingly, the first three, include The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Grand Theft Auto V and Euro Truck Simulator 2. However, this is not a special surprise. The Witcher brand is a real phenomenon in the gaming industry, and GTA V and ETS2 are still being dynamically developed – even today a lot of people like to spend their time with this titles.

The “The Top 100 Most Popular Games” list was created by using the data from the whole 2018. For this reason, in the case of productions released this year, the titles that appeared earlier were strongly rewarded. This is why, for example, God of War overtook Red Dead Redemption 2, despite the fact that the premiere of RDR2 was a much bigger event.
