Since it debuted late last year, Samsungs’ Milk VR has become one of the go-to spots for 360º video on the Gear VR, which until recently did not have support for YouTube’s 360º videos. In the past year a number of pieces have debuted on the platform including experimental films like MansLaughter, content from the NBA and the Olympics. Presumably (because Samsung has not released any formal numbers) thousands of people have used the app, and based on our own analytics, have used it to watch and hide their virtual reality porn.
But among all the videos, there are five which stand above the rest in terms of total viewership:
Number 5 – GONE Episode 1: Pilgrim (Samsung, Skybound Entertainment and Wevr)
The first episode of the original thriller quickly shot to number 5, following its launch on December 8. Join Meredith, Emilia’s mother, for a familiar day at the playground. The day takes an unfortunate turn when Emilia disappears in plain sight. Viewers can look around and find important clues that point to what conspired.
