As the year draws to a close, popular adult film archive Pornhub has continued its annual holiday tradition, releasing needlessly detailed (yet endlessly fascinating) data gleaned from users. Pertinent to our purview, there's a whole section dedicated to the most popular video games, character-related searches, and preferred consoles, offering debatably valuable insight into the preferences of modern gamers.
Of course, there's no judgment here, as every character listed is a fictional creation, but it's probably worth noting that several aren't human. At least one isn't even technically alive. We were surprised to learn Street Fighter's Chun-Li, specifically as depicted in the family-friendly Fortnite, was the most popular character search, followed by Final Fantasy VII's Tifa and Overwatch's D.VA.
Other notable additions include Lady Dimitrescu, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Mario, taking the #5, #6, and #8 spots, respectively. PlayStation users contributed overwhelmingly, and God of War's Freya made the list, the sole character from a first-party studio to do so. Diehard fans of Sony's maligned handheld, the PS Vita, seem to be still getting some use out of the portable device.
Regarding video game searches, we were surprised to see the supposedly controversial Baldur's Gate 3 rate shockingly low, placing behind The Witcher but still managing to outdo undeniably sexy titles like Cup Head and Among Us.
Are you surprised by these scientific findings? Did your favourite video game character or franchise feature on PornHub's revealing list? Maintain a scholarly decorum in the comments section below.

Is this appropriate lol
Well……….. That’s an article I thought I would never see on push square.
Pornhub and video games. 😂
Why Cuphead... of all things?
Genshin, a game famously packed with waifus, most popular search is...a slime. Takes all sorts I suppose.
Just happened to come across this did you?! 🤔
What a ridiculous article...... 😔
I always like these yearly updates (not sure why everyone thinks it’s a weird article, it does the rounds every year)
Given Resi 4 came out this year I would have thought to see Ashley represented a bit more, especially for those with a darker bent. But then Capcom/Facebook/Sony did a “good” job completely de-sexing her in the recent releases.
It's that time of the year again where PushSquare turns into Zoo/Nuts magazine 🤷
I am not to judge. In fact i should probably do some research into this to make up my own mind.
Being open minded is important.
Be careful, if Microsoft sees this graph, I expect a massive acquisition of pornhub will be on the cards for the team in Green!! How dare people use PlayStation consoles for smutty shenanigans more than Xbox!! I can imagine Phil Spencer having to wipe the drool from his mouth as he talks in great length why that would be best for gamers worldwide!!
This is the content I come to PushSquare for
@PSme they’ve done it for a few years now 😂
Apparently the author of this article enjoys a bit of pornhub now and then. 😉
🤦 I played this in the arcade growing and chun li was the only legs I loved 😂 this is um yeah 👍 haha we are getting to my kind of humour now nice!
Chun li in porn? I dont believe this at all. I will do some investigating.... on my own 🤔
@Bionic-Spencer they will probably just buy pornhub 😂
@Nepp67
2 girls, 1 cuphead
@Nepp67 who doesn’t fancy a cuppa on the regular?
I wasn't a fan of Chun Li's huge thighs in SF6, not sure what she is like in Fortnite. Funny article though, always makes me laugh!
@Czar_Khastik I will never see Cuphead the same again 🤣
No 2B from Nier Automata? No taste.....
An amusing read, albeit an incredibly depressing one also...
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you... The Human Race!
The whole list is quite funny but Cuphead 😂
Lucy and Rebecca, technically not video game characters 🤣
There is still time to delete this. Completely inappropriate.
Chun Li still has it then.
I remember watching the Street Fighter anime movie as a 10-year-old and the Chun Li shower scene and subsequent fight with Vega was, well, let’s say it piqued my interest.
Using the ps5 web browser requires some hoop jumping so ether not many people overall are porning using there Microsoft play station U or porn hub is making ***** up.
@CharlieChooChoo childish response "just close your eyes it will go away". This page is dedicated to video games and I'm pretty sure underage children also visit it, now on the front page there is 18+ content, completely inappropriate.
Brah, who the hell is watching sonic and among us pxrn 😭😭😭
Like, my brain cannot fathom among us especially😂. Do they just give them coloured genitals or something?
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@CharlieChooChoo googling as we speak 😂
Don’t ask why but I looked up the vita/3DS numbers for 2022 & it was just 0.8% compared to 2023s 1.6%!!!
That’s some ‘hard growth’ right there😂.
I do ask myself why though🤣?
@Illyrian Well, good luck completely shielding adolescents from inappropriate content in AD 2023.
Please stop making a fuss about sexuality. It’s supposed to be something positive. If you do your parenting job and outfit your offspring with a decent set of values, then there’s nothing to fear.
I'm not going to lie, I started viewing this site when I was a kid. I made this account after years and years of viewing articles. This isn't very appropriate to have on here. If a kid was browsing your site, which isn't an adult site, you are directly responsible for now triggering their porn curiosity from this article.
I bet the snobs in here are the biggest w**kers.
@Czar_Khastik Very good😂.You win the internet today.
Tbf It’s good to see that Street Fighter is still relevant & shaping peoples minds.
However who is looking up Gardevoir porn? A subsection of Mum enthusiast?
Tbf this is the kind of wrap-up that keeps me up at night.
Presumably the people offended by this article are equally as vocal each time some GTA or any other 18+ game news is published
@Gryzor you're losing the plot here mate. How is "exploring one's sexuality" equal with the billion dollar industry of porn? And to add on a "PlayStation-focused video game news website" their words by the way.
@MatthewJP How is this article "PlayStation-focused video game news website" related?
@ApostateMage probably worried their kinks will be exposed for all to mock.
Just taken another look at this... was curious as to who/what Gardevoir is (Pokemon!)
Outrageous
@Illyrian Prepare your kids to be confronted with inappropriate content, because they will inevitably come across it 🤷🏻♂️
Also, Mr. Adams’ incentives as a journalist to maximize clicks/comments for more ad revenue won’t exactly help your case 😢
Khayl! We can see through your m.o. of always click- and comment-baiting us with articles about teh sexy time. And it’s clearly working.
Sheesh, journos these days… 😅
@Illyrian
You’re the one being childish here, and there is no 18+ content, so don’t be ridiculous. Not a single image.
So without trying to sound stupid, why are people searching for video game characters and video games in pornhub? Do they have anything to do with gaming?
EDIT: I say this as I can't access pornhub on my phone/computer as my internet blocks it
The saddest part about this list is that Chun-Li is marked as a fortnite character...
@Czar_Khastik Oh god... I always assumed that was either coffee, tea, or hot chocolate in their heads...
The stats show that we don't need a cornsite for Dead or Alive characters.
Well this gave me a chuckle ,to the people complaining ,get a grip ,its just sex ,who searched sonic though 😂😂
Sonic? Mario? Where's Master Cheeks 😂
Not sure why you're telling us this in all honesty.
@CharlieChooChoo nah. The overt mentioning of the porn site is the issue I have, other than that it's a laugh. And don't act stupid, how regular and accessible is it for a kid to commit war crimes or shoot people after watching/playing violent games/movies vs developing a porn addiction after watching porn.
And before you come in with "people shoot people all the time after consuming violent media", I know it happens but at a very disproportional rate compared to the young people affected by porn consumption. I am very informed in that field.
Protect the children is all I'm saying
@CharlieChooChoo parents should protect their kids by banning them from reading PlayStation news because their kid wants to read about PlayStation news on a PlayStation news site and sees an article about a porn site. Got it 😀
Thats weird pornhub chun li.ok.wtf.word up son
Sonic and Mario in the top 10 is kind of disturbing..
You kinky b*stards! 🤣
I'm more impressed that there are that many PS5 user's that have jumped through the silly hoops to access the web browser 😳
A lot of short names. Easier to type with one hand I suppose...
Pause at Sonic 😅🤣
Funniest thing about this article are the number of comments outraged over this being posted here but decided to click it anyway lol.
How is Yennifer not top of that list, sexiest character ever.
69 comments.
Noice.
People that do this need to go on a list shared globally, most of these characters look very underage to say the least
They need to get screened before being let back into society
To those saying that this is inappropriate, I'd argue that Chun Li being searched as Fortnite over Street Fighter speaks more to the demographic that is searching on the website. Fortnite is primarily marketed and played by a younger audience, and there is a very slim chance that younger people do not know about that website already.
People need to stop putting the onus on everyone else to shield people from things and make more of an effort to protect themselves and others from what they consider inappropriate. You can't cry foul that PushSquare published this article about 18+ content when the majority of PlayStation's first party studios create 18+ games.
All I'm saying is some of those ads/gifs look a lot better than console games currently😲
@IndoorEnthusiast I was about to say the same thing - given that Fony have denied us access to the 'we know it's there' PS5 web browser, how is anyone looking anything up on the bloody thing?
I just want to look up ESO hidden treasure locations (not a euphemism) but I can't do that never mind going off to pornhub!
All I can say is thank god for the PS4 and its 'tap PS button, back to dashboard, load browser' web browser (for the ESO hidden treasure maps, obviously!)
I can't believe Chun-Li gets on here because of Fortnite and is labeled under Fortnite. I worry if most people just know her now as "the kung-fu lady from Fortnite"
Wow how low this site is stooping
Jacking off to cuphead tonight
@Bionic-Spencer Imagine if Xbox/Microsoft acquired PornHub, shut down the site and apps, and made it only available through GamePass Ultimate. They'd definitely win the console wars. Lol
Why has this community become so prudish?
That pie chart makes PS4 & PS5 look like a Pac-Man gobbling up a little X-Box pellet.
@EchoRange Because some people are offended by everything.
I’m confused by a lot of this. Besides the obvious Mario and Sonic who is looking up Minecraft on a porn site that it’s the number 3 searched game? Was it a TikTok challenge or something? Do people want ugly graphic blocky porn? 🤷🏻♂️ Genshin Impact makes sense.
Does Pornhub do an anime list? A lot of Power cosplay this year, I’m thinking she’d be up there despite her attire.
@Nepp67 havent you seen two girls and one cuphead? Its a classic. Jk
2B didn't make the list? Shout out to Sonic though. Finally beat Mario in something. Lol.
Always interesting data, whether search terms on console's web browsers or in general. People find different sources of characters and different aspects appealing. It is always interesting, creepy and more. I mean any alien, fantasy, whatever characters, whatever character designs, whatever dialogue, whatever game appearances even in crossovers I guess.
I mean this is news. It has no graphical imagery. The topic is fair to cover. It's not like the UK PS Magazines that were pushing the line more with graphic imagery, dumb contests, phone numbers to questionable things and more. That's what inappropriate to children content in a magazine shouldn't have done in the 2000s but did. This isn't that bad it's clean but gets the news across even if not a child friendly subject we can't just hide some information from people.
Then again I can see no connection to ecchi games Sony/Microsoft at all just clean games that people think on a certain level about and what they search/what characters/what they use their consoles for. Hmm interesting.
Ppl still get their engines revved up for Sonic...
Pikachu face
Chun li? I usually search for kimmy granger...oops 🫢
lmao Pornhub just got sued for sex trafficking but yeah let's feature them on our site
Jesus Christ Push Square what are you playing at?
also
[source kotaku.com]
no one is surprised
@Nepp67 Two Girls, One Cuphead
@Khayl
Make me. ( . )( . )
@EchoRange
It’s not just the community, it’s this generation of youngsters.
No love for Pyramid Head? How disappointing...
@BIG3 "Sonic [...] finally beat Mario in something."
So it was an S&M video? Oh, of course! S&M must stand for Sonic & Mario.
Judging by those searches there are some odd people about.
It makes my British accent porn searches seem rather normal 😂
I was wondering why my search results for Sackboy kept directing me to PH.
