According to GamesIndustry, Nintendo became the most mentioned company of the year, surpassing Xbox in the number of publications. Microsoft's gaming division experienced a difficult period: releases came out on competitor consoles, prices rose, and the company's strategy underwent changes.
PlayStation had a relatively quiet year — there were few major releases from internal studios or with the support of the brand. As a result, the company took third place in the list of the most discussed, ahead of Microsoft and Sony, which also frequently appeared in the news.
Among the games, the leader in the number of mentions was GTA VI, slightly ahead of Battlefield 6. Both games noticeably surpassed Fortnite, which took third place, and The Last of Us, which was in fourth position.
