As we come to the end of 2017, various companies are releasing their “Best of 2017” lists, and Google Play is no exception. The Android-based app store, which also specializes in allowing the user to stream their favorite television shows in addition to playing their favorite games, has dropped a blog with the best and most popular apps, games, music, movies, TV shows, and books in 2017.
According to the blog, Google Play’s “Best of 2017” includes some of the most popular shows on television today.
Games of Thrones, the smash HBO show that is currently filming its final season, came in at No. 1 in their list of top five shows of 2017. Rick and Morty, The Walking Dead, The Big Bang Theory, and Doctor Who all rounded out the top five.
In terms of their “Best of 2017” games, it’s perhaps no surprise that Super Mario Run was the top downloaded game of 2017. Bubble Witch 3 Saga, Magic Tiles Three, Crash Arena Turbo Stars, and Ballz rounded out the top five.
