Capcom's outstanding Resident Evil Village, as well as Farming Simulator 22 and Battlefield 2042, make an appearance in the game, which has over 100,000 peak players. Among the games included are titles such as The Last of Us, Rocket League, Penalty Kick Online, and Dead by Daylight, which you might expect to see.

A number of games, including Back 4 Blood, Phasmophobia, Sea of Thieves, and Final Fantasy XIV, stand out on the list of over 60,000 peak players. And, not to be overlooked, Left 4 Dead 2, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Fallout 4, Dying Light, and Loop Hero all had successful years, with more than 30,000 players playing them in 2021.
