What makes a game YouTubable?
summary
Analysis of top lists shows real-time PvP dominates seven of ten most-viewed mobile games and all top YouTube games, while top-grossing charts barely overlap (Clash of Clans is the only common title). Single-player hits work when they offer randomized item placement and ongoing updates (Granny) or infinite physics combos that mirror kids toy videos (Kick the Body). Influencers favor games with long emergent replayability, the ability to play with fans, and perks like custom vanity items and branded influencer tournaments that keep content fresh.
