- Phantom Blade Zero's Release Date - This Chinese-developed game trailer garnered over 3.6 million views, but some speculate that paid promotions might have inflated the numbers. The game's popularity in China, as evidenced by its massive views on Bilibili, suggests a potential hit.

- Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis - The PlayStation version of this remake trailer amassed over 1.4 million views, indicating a strong interest in the Tomb Raider franchise.

Some notable omissions include Star Wars: Galactic Racer, which missed the top ten, and Highguard, a PvP raid shooter that received a less-than-stellar response despite being a big reveal at the end of the show. The trailer's low view count and negative reception might be attributed to the timing of its reveal and the game's free-to-play nature.
