9. Overwatch

A 6v6 first-person shooter with a twist, you must select a character called “heroes”. Each Hero has a different ability that takes time to master and really sets it apart from most fps games.

It’s a really fun game with beautiful cartoon-like graphics and excellent gameplay that can really immerse you. The game is available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.

8. Naraka: Bladepoint

Here is a game that takes a different approach on the battle royal/last man standing genre. It has a melee-only approach where 60 players battle to be the last person standing.

Play in teams of 3 or solo using a character of your choice. Loot and eliminate your enemies to be the victor in this beautiful PC and PS5 game.

7. Grand Theft Auto V

Grand Theft Auto V is a 2013 open world, action-adventure game that still tops the charts for games for teenagers to this day for its amazing campaign and greatly supported online mode. Play as Trevor, Michael and Franklin to complete missions as you make enemies and make money.

The online mode allows you to play many different missions and fun game modes or roam free with friends using your own character. The game has many updates and enough content to keep you hooked. If you games with adrenaline rush, you must try drifting games.

6. Rust

Rust is a multiplayer-only survival video game released in 2013. Rust is so fun to play alone but is even better with friends, grind and build the biggest base and dominate the server or just grab your friends and play for fun.

I recommend trying out the community servers as you can play other mini-games or even role play in the massive open world. Rust is available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.

SHIELD TV

Stunning visuals brought to you by Dolby Vision HDR, and immersive audio with Dolby Atmos surround sound, alongside AI upscaling and GeForce NOW cloud gaming. For users who demand snappy performance and a cinematic experience.

5. Apex Legends

Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale-hero shooter game that is incredibly fun and has really fun mechanics. Being developed by Respawn Entertainment, the gameplay feels similar to Titanfall 2 and that’s a great thing as it makes the game really fun and keeps you coming back.

The game is regularly updated and adds new characters that add a new way for the game to be played and mastered. Apex Legends is available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo switch and mobile, making it available to everyone.

4. PUBG: Battlegrounds

PUBG: Battlegrounds is an online multiplayer battle royale game released in 2016. The game was designed by Brendan Greene, who can be called the pioneer of modern-day battle royales. The game currently has the record on steam for over 3.2 million concurrent players in 2018.

Play alone or up to teams of 4, looting and gearing up to dominate the map and get your “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner” by being the last man standing. It is available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and mobile.

SHIELD TV PRO

Level up to SHIELD TV Pro for more storage space, two USB 3.0 ports for expandability, and PLEX Media Server.

3. Lost Ark

Lost Ark is a massively multiplayer online action role-playing game that was released in 2019 but had a surge of players in early 2022 with the release of its European servers. Select your class, tune your abilities, explore the massive world, complete immersive stories and quests, build your own island and defeat threats.

Available on PC only, Lost Ark is a massive hit and you should definitely give it a try if you like MMORPGs. The one downside is the massive queue you may have to endure to actually get in, some people say it’s worth the wait.

2. League of Legends

League of Legends is a 2009 multiplayer online battle arena video game developed and published by Riot Games. Choose your champion and fight the enemy team to take control over the map and destroy the enemy’s nexus to obtain victory.

Being an older game, you would think that the player base may be low, but this game pulls a massive number of players every day. The game is still supported and seems to be a blast so don’t miss out. It is available only on PC.

At the top of the list of most popular games for teenagers is Fortnite. This is a free-to-play battle royale game developed and published by Epic Games. When released in 2017, Fortnite was a massive hit as it had a twist from most battle royale games allowing you to build structures in real time.

Play alone or with up to 4 friends in the online battle royal or up to 16 in the creative mode. Fortnite may currently have the most active players and it’s well deserved as the game is continuously updated and adding new things to keep players engaged. Fortnite is available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and mobile.
