Hi, it’s been some time since I started wondering what video games girls are playing in Japan. I saw a question about this already, but it’s from 7 years ago, so I suppose the trends have changed. So if any of you know what’s popular now, please tell me!

Young girls? Young women?

Animal Crossing. Minecraft seems popular with them as well
This is for consoles.
Dobutsu mo mori and all of its versions.
Splatoon 2, though I imagine Splatoon 3 will become the most popular game with its release in September.
Super Mario Party
Mario Kart
Minecraft
It is a whole other world once you get to smartphone games, but I believe the kids are into Oriental Arcadia and various dating simulators like PlusMate.
Valorant, lots of girls are heavy into valorant right now.
Apex too, but it’s no longer flavor of the month so people are slowly moving onto valorant.
My daughter’s favorite YouTuber [TAMAchan](https://youtube.com/channel/UCOb49mOu4z3FTYRkIrFtYMQ) seems to have a decent crowd with her Minecraft and Roblox content.
You can also go on Twitch, filter to Japanese streams, and see what games girls are live-streaming. Can also look at Let’s Play （実況プレイ） videos on YouTube. Recently, there seems to be a trend in that a lot of girls just watch Let’s Play videos without actually playing games themselves.

Twisted wonderland
Oddly, in Japan girls are more likely than boys to play Tetris-like games.
Halo Infinite
Ensemble Stars, Twisted Wonderland, they’re some of the most popular mobage in Japan and the audience is pretty much girls
あなカレ
Genshin Impact lol
OP are you a girl or a perv hiding as a girl. Your comments seem a bit suspicious
Animal Crossing for sure. Popular with all ages.
