Unfortunately, there's not a great way to compare these stats to previous years, as Reddit didn't do a gaming-specific recap for 2020. Other top posts included the news that EA no longer has exclusive rights to make Star Wars games, predictions for Worlds 2021, a clip of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showing off her League of Legends play, and a meme about switching from World of Warcraft to Final Fantasy 14. Other subreddits with massive spikes in 2021 included r/pokemonunite (with subscribers up a whopping 8,600% year over year thanks to Unite's launch in July), r/deltarune (subscribers up 328,000% thanks to a new chapter release in September) and r/biomutant (subscribers up 9,500% from last year).Īs for top posts, the most upvoted gaming post of the year was entitled " boy gamer" and features a webcomic satirizing the experience of being a woman playing online games and having everyone in voice comms remark on it.
Related to GTA role-playing, Reddit's roundup notes that r/NoPixel - a subreddit dedicated to a specific GTA RP server - saw a 267% increase in views year over year.
