Tom Clancy’s The Division was the top trending game on YouTube in March

Ubisoft said that Tom Clancy’s The Division has had the biggest first week of any new video game franchise, so it’s no surprise that it is also the top-trending game on YouTube Gaming for March.

The popularity of games on YouTube Gaming is yet another indicator of how much people are playing various games or how much they like to talk about certain games. And there’s a pretty good correlation to sales, according to YouTube Gaming’s leaders.

No. 2 on the list is Mortal Kombat X, a 2015 title that returned to the trending charts thanks to the March release of Kombat Pack 2, featuring new characters like Leatherface.

No. 3 was Clash Royale, the latest real-time mobile strategy game from Supercell, the developer of Clash of Clans.

Other titles in order were EA Sports UFC 2, Dark Souls III, Pokkén Tournament, Stardew Valley, Minecraft: Story Mode, Subnautica, and Disney Infinity 3.0.
