Top 10 Most Talked-About Games on Facebook Revealed

It's not just YouTube that today revealed a list of top games for 2015. Social networking giant Facebook, too, shared the top ten games that were most popular on its platform in the past year and more.

Sitting atop Facebook's top ten "most talked about" games for 2015 is FIFA 15, which was released in September 2014. Rounding out the top five were Fallout 4 and Fallout Shelter (combined in this chart), Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Mortal Kombat X, and Batman: Arkham Knight.

Facebook also today announced its Game of the Year and other category winners. The company has changed its approach over the years, but this year, the list factors in everything from user reviews to "data-driven ranking of virality." Here's more on how Facebook decided its winners this year.

"What we've learned in that time is that there is no one golden approach to coosing the 'best' games," Facebook said in a statement. "Some games have strong retention, but don't grow quickly. Some games grow exponentially in a matter of months--but are forgotten within a year. Older games have stronger engagement than younger games; newer games launch across mobile and Facebook.com simultaneously, creating shifts in player engagement."

With that context, Facebook's complete list of game of the year winners is below. Note, too, that PlayStation 4 was among the winners for Best Facebook Integration, while Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom won the award for best ad campaign.
