Google just released its annual list of global trending searches, where it was revealed that 2020's top searches include the late actor Chadwick Boseman, Netflix's Tiger King, and the video game Among Us. It is worth noting, though, that the list is based on the biggest year-over-year searches, so these are not necessarily the most-searched terms of 2020.

Given the coronavirus pandemic's onslaught, video games saw a big increase this year, especially since most countries imposed a stay-at-home order earlier the year. Topping Google's top trending searches for video games is Among Us, which was first released in 2018 but did not gain much traction until 2020. To the uninitiated, Among Us is an online multiplayer social deduction game developed by game studio Innersloth. The game is currently available on the PC and mobile devices.

Just five days ago, Innersloth revealed on its Twitter account that Among Us broke the record as the "Most Popular Game," based on a new study done by SuperData. According to data released by the firm, Among Us had half a billion users in November. This impressive figure beats other top-grossing multiplayer games such as Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and League of Legends. Although the mobile versions of Among Us allowed for even more players to access it, it is the game's PC version that accounted for more than half of its revenue at 64%.

Apart from Among Us, Fall Guys also made it to the top of Google's list after it was launched last August. Shortly after the game's release, Fall Guys became a breakout success, becoming the PlayStation Store's most downloaded PS Plus game of all time. Fall Guys' popularity peaked last Summer and had massive views on the streaming platform Twitch.

Earlier this month, developer Mediatonic released Fall Guys' third season. The new season was revealed at The Game Awards, showcasing all the new levels, features, outfits, and quality-of-life updates included in season 3. Additionally, the new season embodies a winter theme, and players have also been experiencing several new courses in the update. Apart from the new levels, season 3 also introduced new features such as the ability to climb through the Crown Ranks to earn exclusive rewards, alongside a variety of bug fixes that improves the overall experience players will get in Fall Guys.

Among Us is available for Mobile, Nintendo Switch, PC, and will be released for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S in 2021.
