What are kids playing today? What came after Minecraft/Roblox?

I feel like I haven't heard anything from younger genz about games outside of 'streamer screamer' game of the week.
Is there anything really new and unique?
I hear forkknife or something like that is popular.

As a 30 y/o myself, it feels like they’re still playing those games from 4 years ago: Minecraft, Fortnite, Roblox, Brawlstars. But they watch much, MUCH more AI Slob
As a parent I can confirm this is true. Lots of AI slop. But probably even more weird, random, quick-fire meme shorts. Although those two categories are rapidly bleeding together into one massive clusterfuck.
My oldest frequently says "gen alpha is so cooked!" due to all the meme and AI slop. Which considering he is gen alpha is both insightful and disturbing.

My son plays Fortnite in addition to the other two. I don't know of any other games that offer the wide choice and peer interaction that Minecraft, Fortnite and Roblox offer.
He mainly watches streamers who play those games

I don't know, but my kid won't be playing Roblox. That game has as many groomers and pedophiles as the Catholic Church.

Tangential point: these games always felt like Legos but without the complexity involved with rotating and making things fit IRL, so I'd rather get my kids Legos. I guess these games are free for anyone who knows how to use a PC/their children, so it's way more accessible, but Insha'Allah I'll be financially blessed enough to buy the real deal.

Attention span is so, so short now. Caught my kid playing Fortnite, then alt-tab to YouTube Shorts when they got killed. For like 10 seconds of downtime to respawn. Atrocious!

Maybe not a bad thing though. Rather learn to be cautious with "worthless" digital items and be less likely to get scammed later on

Absolutely, this wasn't the worst objectively. But the abuse of trust hits them hard nonetheless

That doesn't justify exposing him to pedos.

They're getting bugs and keeping em in matchboxes, making them get on sticks and fight each other like Pokémon. It's brutal out there man, kids these days are tougher than us
