Until Dawn was YouTube’s top August game

PS4 horror title Until Dawn has been named as the ‘hottest’ game on YouTube in July.

As reported by Kotaku, YouTube defines ‘hotness’ by combining both video watch time and uploads.

Supermassive’s title was helped no doubt by the attention it was given by big names such as PewDiePie and Markiplier.

Other titles to fare well included Call of Duty: Black Ops III, the beta for which recently went live, as well as smartphone hit Pac-Man 256, time-bending shooter Superhot and Metal Gear Solid V, despite the fact that wasn’t officially released until last week.

Here’s the Top 10 in full:

  1. Until Dawn
  2. Call of Duty: Black Ops III
  3. Madden NFL 16
  4. Pac-Man 256
  5. Superhot
  6. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
  7. Super Mario Maker
  8. Gears of War
  9. H1Z1
  10. World of Warcraft
