    I guess a lot of older games that show up on the list are free multiplayer games that still get new content like Fortnite, Roblox, League, and Apex, so they’re accessible, probably already a part of people’s routines at this point, and at least have new things every once in a while to keep it interesting.

    Also I wonder why they lumped CoD Modern Warfare II, III, and Warzone together as one game

      Because they are just the one game. Since mw1 cod is just a live service game with yearly $60 payments to make you think it isn’t just the same game. Also includes cold war.

      You are correct that people aren’t playing “old games” though. Fortnite and league could easily make up 30%, add GTAV and bob’s your uncle.

        From the actual article, that last statement isn’t even taht far off, if you chuck in a few more games

        In fact, in 2023, five old games—Fortnite, Roblox, League of Legends, Minecraft, and GTA V—accounted for 27% of all playtime in the year.
