Which is why counterparts for Genshin Impact include Legends of Runeterra for the iPad game of the year, and Disco Elysium for the Mac game of the year.
Despite not being the “best”, Among Us is the most downloaded game of the year from the Apple App Store. This comes as absolutely no surprise to anyone at all, considering its breakout success, especially among the streaming crowd. Its sudden rise to popularity also helped it take the top spot from Call of Duty Mobile, another expected candidate for most downloaded game.
