[QUOTE="Admin, post: 55882, member: 1"] Despite [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/best-reviewed-games-2022'][U]a fulfilling start[/U][/URL] to the year for the games industry, none of the top played games during 2022’s Q1 were released this year. Today, NPD’s Executive Director and Video Game Industry Advisor Mat Piscatella [URL='https://twitter.com/MatPiscatella/status/1529082182748188674?s=20&t=Uy3DYF9MDXSinGCdHHPo4Q']shared stats[/URL] from The NPD Group's PlayerPulse. The list, which chronologically ranks the top 10 most played games during 2022’s Q1, sees games as old as 2009’s [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/minecraft']Minecraft [/URL]and 2013’s [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/grand-theft-auto-v']Grand Theft Auto V[/URL] still standing as player favorites. Piscatella pointed out that half of the games that made the list were launched before the 2020s.

Piscatella accredited the game’s surprisingly low placement to the success of evergreen and live service games, calling them “gravity wells for player attention, time and spending.” Q1 is typically defined as the period from January to the end of March, so Elden Ring would also have only been released for one month.
