Five years dominating the competitive scene and open world games. Rainbow Six: Siege and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) fall to the second step of the podium with four consecutive appearances, just as commendable, and Among Us, Cyberpunk 2077, Doom Eternal and Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout become the only titles of 2020 capable to be among the twelve who have entered this course the most.
