Spiketrap: Animal Crossing and Warzone surged on social in different ways

Animal Crossing: New Horizons surpassed all other games as the leader in social engagement during March as shelter-in-place rules began, according to data from social media measurement firm Spiketrap. But Call of Duty: Warzone saw a surge in a very different way.

The report is interesting because it shows how huge Animal Crossing was in engagement across social platforms, while Call of Duty: Warzone was strong in terms of hours of gameplay streamed or watched. In other words, people felt like Warzone was a lot more fun to watch, while Animal Crossing was more fun to talk about via tweets, game forum posts, and videos.
