Most searched this week

GTA VI leads on release-date searches with 1,100,000 a month worldwide, then God of War Laufey (54,000) and Fable (38,000). Every game’s searches, which are rising or falling over the year, and when interest peaked are on the most-searched upcoming games.

Not ranked: GTA VI (PC) and Forza Horizon 6 (PS5). Each is a platform version of a game that is either ranked once already or already out, so their searches appear only on the data page.

This week's chart uses a fresh search pull (10 November) and, for the first time, counts GTA VI's release-date searches: about 1.1 million a month worldwide, 20 times the next game. Each measure is now indexed on a log scale, so a figure that big no longer squashes every other game's search score to almost nothing. Each tenfold step in searches, Steam followers or IGDB hypes counts the same, and all three measures carry weight again.

GTA VI stays first in its last week on the chart before it launches on 19 November; its Google Trends line hit its 12-month peak last week. Fable, The Elder Scrolls VI and The Witcher 4 hold 2nd to 4th. God of War Laufey is still the second most-searched upcoming game (54,000 a month) but slips from 5th to 9th, because it isn't on Steam and has fewer IGDB hypes than the games around it.

Six games are new: Exodus enters 13th, The Expanse: Osiris Reborn 16th on 92,444 Steam followers, Final Fantasy VII Revelation 19th, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet 21st, Pokémon Winds and Waves 22nd and Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember 23rd. GTA VI on PC and Forza Horizon 6 on PS5 are platform versions, so they aren't ranked; their searches are on the most-searched upcoming games page.

The Google Trends lines show which games are cooling. Interest in The Witcher 4 over the last 13 weeks is 44% below where it was a year ago, and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis and Intergalactic are both down 40%. Apart from GTA VI, the biggest risers among games already announced a year ago are Kingdom Hearts IV (+91%), State of Decay 3 (+68%) and Persona 4 Revival (+50%). Five games, including Fable and State of Decay 3, peaked in the same week, beginning 7 June 2026.

How the score works

Each game is measured three ways. Each measure is indexed on a log scale so the week’s highest figure scores 100, and the score is the average of the measures the game has. The log scale counts each tenfold step the same, so one game with millions of searches doesn’t squash every other game’s search score to almost nothing:

score = average of
  100 × log(1 + searches) ÷ log(1 + 1,100,000)
  100 × log(1 + Steam followers) ÷ log(1 + 144,062)
  100 × log(1 + IGDB hypes) ÷ log(1 + 1,146)

  • Searches: global monthly searches for “<game> release date”, from Ahrefs.
  • Steam followers: members of the game’s Steam Community group, which is what the Follow button on a Steam store page adds you to. Games that aren’t on Steam are averaged over the other two measures.
  • IGDB hypes: people following the game on IGDB before release.

Only unreleased games are ranked, each once: a separate platform version (such as GTA VI on PC) isn’t ranked, though its searches are on the most-searched upcoming games page. A game leaves the chart in the week it comes out. Movement compares each game’s rank with the week before. Release dates come from the publisher or a platform store where we could find one; when only a window is announced, we show the window. Methodology
