How is Game of the Month determined?

Game of the Month rankings use a multi-factor algorithm combining average score (40%), peak performance (20%), positional dominance (25%), consistency (10%), and recency (5%). We capture daily snapshots at 12:00 AM UTC tracking each game's trending score and daily ranking position. This ensures fairness to games releasing late in the month while rewarding sustained excellence. See our methodology page for full details.

When do Game of the Month rankings update?

We capture daily snapshots at 12:00 AM UTC. Monthly rankings update daily throughout the month and finalize on the last day of the month. The 'Updated X ago' timestamp shows when the most recent snapshot was captured.

Can a game that releases mid-month still win Game of the Month?

Yes! Our methodology looks at peak performance, not total days tracked. A game that releases late in the month and achieves exceptional scores for multiple consecutive days can absolutely compete for the monthly ranking. The system is designed to be fair to late entries while rewarding sustained excellence.

Where does this data come from?

All data comes from Steam's official public APIs: player counts (updated every few hours), top seller rankings (daily), review counts and sentiment (multiple times daily), and game news feeds. We combine these signals into trending scores using a transparent, documented methodology.
