The third entry in the popular team-based squid shooter has officially been crowned the top searched game in the Yahoo! Japan Search Awards. Yes, it’s a thing.<\/em> Yahoo! Japan shared multiple search categories and Splatoon 3 was the most searched in the gaming category.<\/p>\n

Some other titles to join it include the Pok\u00e9mon games, Bandai Namco’s hit Elden Ring<\/strong> in third place, and even Kirby and the Forgotten Land<\/a>. Here are the top 10 of the most-searched games on Yahoo! Japan in 2022:<\/p>\n
