Players love first-person shooters. According to SteamDB stats, Counter-Strike, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, Apex Legends and Call of Duty have been leading Steam rankings for years, gathering thousands of players regardless of their release date. No wonder that esports relies heavily on this genre.

Luckily, Unity and Elympics come to the rescue. 💪
