God of War PS4 PlayStation 4

We know that God of War is breaking sales records, becoming the fastest selling PS4 exclusive with over 5 million copies shifted in its first month, but it's also performing extremely well on YouTube. The stellar PS4 exclusive won't be the first game on the video website to achieve 1 billion total views, but it's shaping up to be the fastest to reach that milestone.

Data analyst website Matchmade has run the numbers, and God of War accrued 728 million views in April. This makes the title the third most viewed game on YouTube, behind the ever-popular Minecraft and current leader Fortnite. Epic's shooter reached 1 billion views in five months to become the fastest game in YouTube's history to do so, and if God of War can maintain its momentum, it'll reach the milestone by June/July, comfortably taking the record -- very impressive for a single player game with a hefty story aspect.
