1. Grand Theft Auto: Five (GTAV)

It was a big week for VALORANT and the FPS was able to be the second most popular category
4. League of Legends
The statistics show large decreases for League of Legends across the board but don't be fooled into thinking it was a slow week for the giant MOBA. Last week, was a particularly active one, and while this week was markedly less active, it is still above the usual level of activity for the game.
