Other popular games on Twitter include Sony’s mobile games “Fate/Grand Order”, “Disney: Twisted-Wonderland”, “Fortnite”, “Knives Out” and “Genshin Impact”.

During 2020, many people chose game as their main entertainment as countries all around the world blocked their cities due to the Covid-19 epidemic. Data suggests that the total mobile application consumption of European consumers reached $14.8b in 2020.

“Game players from all over the world would discuss on twitter, and when they can’t communicate face-to-face, they see Twitter as a platform for interconnection”, said Rishi Chadha, head of Twitter game content collaboration.
