Contractors Showdown +420%

Caveman Studio combines virtual reality with the uber-popular battle royale genre in their new title, Contractors Showdown. Steam reviews are very positive so far, but the game's success will likely hinge on wider consumer adoption of VR headsets if the game is to see the popularity of other battle royale titans like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Warzone. Watch the official launch trailer here.

#Survivals +14,553%

TikToker KnotsMaster is driving the popularity of #survivals, a hashtag all about teaching viewers how to tie useful knots for a variety of occasions. Here are a few of their most popular videos:

Useful damper knot - 1.8M views

Venus Williams +507%

Venus Williams, one of the most decorated tennis players in history, continues to make a name for herself off the court as well. She'll be starring in Lacoste's "Play Big" campaign promoting "tennis-core" fashion alongside fellow superstar Novak Djokovic and she was recently made host of the Carnegie Museum’s new podcast series, Widening the Lens. Is there anything she can't do?!
