Top Games Among New Discord Users

EasySQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

You are given a table of Discord user gaming sessions. Write a SQL query to find the top 5 games played by users who joined Discord in the last 30 days. Return each game and the number of sessions played by those newly joined users, ordered from most played to least played.

This is an easy SQL question, so solve it using only the single table provided. Assume each row represents one game session, and use DATE '2025-05-27' as the reference date for the 30-day filter.

Note: Treat DATE '2025-05-27' as today's date.

Output details

  • Return game_name first and play_count second.
  • Break ties by ordering game_name ascending.
  • Exclude sessions where game_name is NULL.
