<p>The open-world sandbox game <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/minecraft">Minecraft</a></strong> has had another strong year of support from its developer and playerbase, and to top it off, it’s been recognised as the most-watched game on <a class="external" href="https://youtu.be/2lAe1cqCOXo?t=151">YouTube</a> in 2019, with 100.2 billion views.</p>
<p>Since its official launch in 2011, the game has been released on just about every platform at this point – including the Nintendo Switch – and has been described as one of the greatest video games of all-time. It’s also won multiple awards, become one of the best-selling games, is used as an educational tool and is suitable for all ages – so it’s not necessarily a surprise it remains relevant to this day.</p>
<p>Following up in second place was another game available on the Switch: <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/fortnite">Fortnite</a></strong>. Epic’s battle royale was the most viewed game in this popular genre this year and even hosted an <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/02/more_than_10_million_players_attended_fortnites_in-game_marshmello_concert_and_it_was_amazing">in-game concert</a> in 2019 featuring DJ Marshmello, which was viewed more than 44 million times. All up, this title had 60.9 billion views this year.</p>
<p>Fortnite was followed by Rock Star’s <strong>Grand Theft Auto V</strong> in third (36.9 billion views), the mobile battle royale title <strong>Garena Free Fire</strong> placed fourth (29.9 billion views), and <strong>Roblox</strong> was in fifth (29.6 billion views). The other five games <a class="external" href="https://www.businessinsider.com.au/youtube-most-watched-video-games-2019-ranked-2019-12?r=US&IR=T">on the list</a> were a combination of battle royale and MOBA titles.</p>
