The most popular video game on YouTube last month was developer Supermassive Games’ horror slasher Until Dawn, which managed to beat out Call of Duty, Sports 2016, and even Hideo Kojima.
Scary video games, the folks who play them, and more specifically, the sizable audience that never seems to tire of watching streams and Let’s Plays — those insatiable weirdos — is likely the reason for this. Even still, it’s nice to see such a stellar horror game get some attention when its publisher doesn’t seem terribly keen on spreading the word of its release.
Surprising for a whole other reason is the title that’s claimed the ninth spot on YouTube’s trending charts. I’m not sure how H1Z1 got there, but I suspect it has something to do with zombies.
