Of Course Five Nights at Freddy's Is the Big Winner from State of Play

Even though we might not comprehend the enthusiasm behind it, Sony consistently features Five Nights at Freddy’s games in their PS5 live broadcasts because they generate impressive numbers. This was clearly demonstrated in the latest State of Play, where the new PS5 trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic has been drawing more attention than any other segment during the event.

Currently, as I type this, the gameplay and release date trailer for our new game has garnered around 660,000 views, which is nearly double that of its closest competitor. This competitor is the video announcing the Stellar Blade DLC and PC version. Coming in second and third are the trailers for Lies of P: Overture, the remastered version of Days Gone, and Tides of Annihilation.

Here’s how the top 10 most viewed PS5 trailers from yesterday’s State of Play lineup so far:

Five Nights at Freddy’s Secret of the Mimic — 660K
Tides of Annihilation — 377K
Stellar Blade x Goddess of Victory DLC — 372K
Days Gone Remastered — 293K
Lies of P: Overture — 293K
Digimon Story: Time Stranger — 244K
Saros — 229K
Onimusha: Way of the Sword — 207K
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater — 205K
Lost Soul Aside — 149K

On previous occasions, a trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s has been the standout hit from a Sony live stream. This instance once again underscores why PlayStation might not always tailor every unveiling exclusively for its core audience. These trailers might be perceived as “contractual obligations,” but instances like this demonstrate the rationale behind such agreements.
