Unable to venture from their homes due to the coronavirus outbreak, many people in China are keeping each other company by playing video games online

Usually, during the Lunar New Year that falls in January or February each year, gamers in China have more time to play games during the holiday season. But this year, following the coronavirus outbreak, authorities decided to extend the holiday by almost three weeks in many places, leaving millions of people with a lot of time to fill.

"On China's popular streaming platform, Douyu, games like"Honor of Kings,""Playerunknown's Battlegrounds" and"League of Legends" are twice as popular as they were during the Lunar New Year in 2019, according to the platform's streaming index."Honor of Kings," the top game on Douyu during the holiday this year, pulled in 63 million views, compared to the 31.7 million views that"PUBG" had during 2019's holiday week.
