It looks like Fortnite has managed to climb back to number one after just three weeks. The game was knocked from the top spot after the surprise release of Apex Legends, but a 15.8 per cent increase in views sees it back on track.

League of Legends also moves back into second place, despite an 8.1 per cent decrease in views last week. Apex Legends is now down to third place after its views dropped by over a quarter. Respawn's battle royale offering racked up 25.2 million hours watched last week, a drop from the 33.8 it had the week prior.

CS:GO takes fourth despite a 3.9 per cent decrease views, accumulating over 20.6 million hours watched in the last week. Dota 2 is in fifth for a second week despite a 31.6 per cent decrease. PUBG Mobile remains in sixth after a 14.3 per cent decrease in hours watched.

Overwatch takes seventh place for a second week running, staying ahead of PUBG in eighth. Grand Theft Auto V remains in ninth place but its views rise by 21.9 per cent.

Anthem takes tenth but a 36.9 per cent increase in views sees EA's online shooter rack up over 4.7 million views in the last week. Hype for Anthem is still growing despite a rocky launch under the shadow of Apex Legends.
