Word momentum: new hit games by name word, last 4 weeks

A hit is a game created that week with 1,000+ players online right now. Bars run oldest to newest; the last bar is this week so far, and it always looks small because new games need time to grow. Change compares the last two full weeks; biggest gain on top.

What this can't tell you

  • It only sees games that reached our lists. Games that flopped are invisible, so this shows what worked, not what failed.
  • We have about 6 weeks of history, so nothing here says how long a trend lasts.
  • Themes come from game names, not from how the games actually play.
  • Players online is not revenue. A crowded theme can still be worth entering; an early one can still be a fad.
