User on Twitter @Baiisun decided to do a search through Google Trends to get an interesting result showing that STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is the most anticipated game on the Xbox Game Pass.

So in order to compare the anticipation in every announced Game Pass game, I looked at the percentage of the game compared to a higher volume searched term (with a steady search volume) on the period 01/01/24 - 03/31/24,

worldwide for Google searches AND Youtube searches.It gave me two set of data that I averaged, resulting in the number you see above.Note that Google Trends add all the related searches to a certain product or topic are under their "topic" reference. The search term The Elder Scrolls VI, TESVI, and The Elder Scrolls 6 should be therefore all included in the data under The Elder Scrolls VI "topic" for example.

I thought Ark 2 got cancelled.

Damn no one gives a fuck about Indiana?

Too bad it wont live up to its expectations.

 

[Ozriel]

not sure how search trends translates to ‘anticipation’.

This looks like someone’s fun data analysis project.

I have it free via gamepass but will probably buy 180 dollar collector's edition. This and KCD2 will duke it out for GOTY. I have faith in our Ukrainian friends.

This and KCD2 will duke it out for GOTY.

STALKER 2 is not going to release in 2024.

The new movie absolutely bombed last year. Doesn't seem to have a following that gives a shit about it any more.

I did when they rode off into the sunset in Crusaders. Not as much after the very mediocre nostalgia bait revival and not at all after shitting on everything remaining with the last movie.

ARK II release date on Winter 20224 seems pretty accurate to me, its Wildcard we are talking about, after all..

 

[Denton]

STALKER 2 is not going to release in 2024.

Possible, but for now I am slightly more convinced that it will.

Two indie city builders and an unannounced Fallout game over Indy? Harsh.

 

[Arsic]

Damn no one gives a fuck about Indiana?

Why would they?

First person endless trash.

This has to be due to release date. Its hard to be excited about games that are still 3-4 years out
