Twitch 2022 Global Game Popularity Ranking: Genshin Impact Holds 21st Place

Recently, data from the analytics site SullyGnome regarding 2022's global Twitch game popularity was shared, revealing that 'Genshin Impact' secured the 21st position. The list provides a clear look at viewership metrics across the streaming platform.

Following the reveal, community reactions were mixed. Some netizens pointed out that this dataset often triggers debates over which game is truly the 'world's number one online game.'
