Good to know
- Plays are YouTube’s public counter, rounded to two digits. They are not unique players and not revenue.
- Growth is the difference between daily snapshots. For large games it moves in big steps because of the rounding.
- Data is refreshed once a day. The current snapshot is from Nov 15, 2026.
